The Maps of Spotsylvania: Bradley M. Gottfrie

An atlas of the fighting at the Spotsylvania Court House Through Cold Harbor, including all Cavalry Operations May 7 through June 3, 1864

During their two weeks at Spotsylvania Court House, Grant and Lee continually rewrote the landscape as they shifted their forces in opposition to each other.  To truly understand the battle, excellent maps are essential.  Gottfried’s map study sheds invaluable light on these constantly shifting forces, helping students of the battle clearly visualize the dynamic situation on the ground from Spotsylvania to the North Anna River to Cold Harbor, Gottfried’s maps clearly capture the Overland Campaign cacophony of movement.
