Civil War Battles and More…New on LOC Website

The AP tells us about the addition of a special collection of Civil War maps to the Library of Congress website.

The documents include diagrams of battles between 1861 and 1865 as well as troop movements and fortifications, and a plan of the port of Vicksburg, Miss., done in 1863, the year Gen. U. S. Grant defeated the Confederate town on July 4. More maps will be added in the spring. Civil war buffs…check them out here .
