GDG- Pipe Creek where are the maps?

[jack]

I'll pick up a copy of the book this weekend.

I found my magazine (home with strep). may/june 2000  Mercators World. I was 
thinking of his valley map-1862-parts of which are reflected in the so 
called invasion map.

It wasn't an invasion map at all, but a theater map designed to reflect the 
area of opeations of the ANV/AoP theater, which did not exist on a military 
basis at that time. During the same period, the WAr Department prepared 4 (I 
believe) detailed maps of the same area. This was just prudent preperation.

Hotchkiss was Jackson's mapmaker, in effect and he did indeed seal Hotchkiss 
with the "profound secret" pledge, but everything was a secret with Jackson.

Isn't he the guy that got lost because he could not bring himself to tell 
his guide where he wanted to go?

The Atlas maps are ok, but they lack the detail, because the scale is so 
greatly diminished. OTOH, if the work you cite above shows the property 
owners. This map is over three feet across and longer than that. Which is 
why I am dubious of any Atlas reproduction.

BTW: I am unable to find any copies of the unit maps, simply a reference. It 
was easier to find good map copies of Lee's retreat.

Has any one ever seen them? Or even know their names?

Regards,

Jack
