An actual piece of American history issued during the Civil War. Filled with commentary and wood engraved images relating to that war and issued contemporary to the events.

Includes the two sheet (four full page) map which is typically missing. This large decorative map has typical tears and edge flaws etc. but is almost entirely there, so readily mendable if desired.

Nice looking, clean, well preserved example, pages loosened, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Text on reverse of each page as always, images and maps from Harper's like this are often offered separately for display.
