This CD contains 61 rare antique maps and descriptive pages representing fascinating details about Connecticut, Washington DC, Florida, Ohio and West Virginia and its vicinity during the Civil War in MrSid format. This format allows you to see the entire map or drill down for the smallest details. If you printed one of these maps at full size, it would be about 36″x36″ or larger (way more than can fit on a computer screen) so you can imagine how much detail they all have. (MrSID software is included on the CD.)
The table below shows the description and a small image of each map on this incredible history CD.
