Publisher Description The Maps of Second Bull Run: An Atlas of the Second Bull Run/Manassas Campaign from the Formation of the Army of Virginia Through the Battle of Chantilly, June 26 – September 1, 1862, continues Bradley M. Gottfrieds efforts to study and illustrate the major campaigns of the Civil Wars Eastern Theater. This is his tenth book in the ongoing Savas Beatie Military Atlas Series. President Abraham Lincolns frustration with George B. McClellans inability to defeat Robert E. Lees Army of Northern Virginia and capture Richmond dramatically increased after the unsuccessful Seven Days Battles. The president combined three small armies into the new Army of Virginia and placed it under Maj. Gen. John Pope, who had overseen several successes in the Western Theater. Popes growing aggressiveness, combined with McClellans passive posture on the Peninsula, forced Lee to turn his attention toward the new threat from the north. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson moved his wing of the Army of Northern Virginia to confront Pope. A bloody battle at Cedar Mountain on August 9 halted Popes move south, and Jacksons raid on the vast stores at Manassas Junction triggered another confrontation, this time at Kettle Run. As Jackson settled into a defensive position on the plains of Manassas, and with McClellans troops having abandoned the Peninsula, Lee moved his other wing under James Longstreet rapidly north. Pope missed an opportunity to prevent the junction of Lees wings by not stopping Longstreet at Thoroughfare Gap. The Battle of Second Bull Run began on the evening of August 28 when Jackson tangled with Union troops at the Brawner Farm. Pope spent much of the following day hammering Jacksons front, with no idea that Longstreet had arrived on the field. The Union assaults continued on August 30 until Longstreet launched a massive assault that rolled up the Union left flank and collapsed Popes army. The retreat was briefly interrupted by some of Jacksons units at Chantilly, which ended the campaign. The Maps of Second Bull Run plow new ground by breaking down the entire campaign into sixteen map sets or "action sections," enriched with 122 detailed full-page color maps. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level. They include the march to and from the battlefields and virtually every significant event in between. At least two-and as many as ten-maps accompany each map set. Keyed to each piece of cartography is a full-facing page of detailed text describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from eyewitnesses) depicted on the accompanying map, all of which make the cavalry actions come alive. This presentation allows readers to easily find a map and text on virtually any portion of the campaign. Serious students will appreciate the extensive endnotes and complete order of battle and take the book with them to the battlefields. A final bonus is that the maps unlock every other book or article written on any aspect of the campaign. Perfect for the easy chair or for stomping the hallowed grounds, The Maps of Second Bull Run is a seminal work that belongs on the bookshelf of every serious and casual student of the battle.
