Original 1863 first edition, published only a few months after the battle, and considered the first map of the battlefield. Title page states, “An account of the movements of the respective armies for some days previous thereto. Compiled from the personal observation of eye-witnesses of the several battles". This is regarded as the first published work to document the battle and was issued even before Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address.

The map is highly detailed, with Union forces color-outlined in blue, and Confederate forces in red. The map also highlights positions of batteries, corps, divisions and brigades, as well as buildings, commanders, headquarters, roads, drainage, railroads, and terrain.

Book measures 4 7/8” x 7 ¼”. Text contains 24 pages, plus fold out map. Cloth cover is distressed on edges. Pages have yellowed with age and are all intact. Binding is tight. Map measures 16 ½” x 19 ¾”. Map is in good condition, although has tears that have been taped by a previous owner. [sm]
