First Manassas Battlefield Map Study by Ed Bearss

Comments:

This Battlefield Map Study is wargamer's gold. Just glancing through the book you get the idea that there was a lot of preparation and care that went into it. Ed Bearss takes 108 pages to walk the reader through the 6 troop movement maps in this set. The Official Records and many primary sources were consulted to figure out exactly who was were on July 21, 1861. This gets down to extreme regimental level and gun level detail, so it is a perfect book to have for prospective scenario designers. Although I have a link to Amazon above, you might wish to try Morningside Books, as they will ship the maps along with the book. This is usually not the case with Amazon. 108 pp., 7 maps
