An extraordinary piece of military history with direct provenance to the highest ranks of the Union Army during the Civil War. This historic 19th-century military map atlas studies the Seat of War and Napoleonic Campaigns-the exact strategic blueprints studied by West Point commanders and military tacticians prior to and during the War Between the States. Appointed personally by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 to manage all Union artillery, munitions, and weaponry production during the height of the Civil War. Origin: Direct estate acquisition from General Ramsay's personal military reference library.
Includes ink/handwritten historical family attribution Found on old Kelso Farm, Liberty Virginia... Before commanding Union ordnance, Ramsay and his contemporaries deeply analyzed European theater tactics.
