Product Story

This framed and personalized wall map lets history buffs track their past and future visits to Civil War battlefields. The sepia-toned close-up of the participating states depicts all 388 preserved battlefields, from Fort Sumter to Vicksburg, and indicates whether the site marked a Union or Confederate victory. Using the 53 included color-coded pins and flags, travelers can mark the battlefields they have already visited, the one they plan to see next, the one they liked the most, and their dream destination. 50 red pins record past travels, the blue pin marks your most recent trip, the yellow one flags a favorite spot, and the green pin points to your next destination. As much a history text as a travel record, the informative map includes a brief timeline of the war, provides details about casualty rates and the 10 costliest battles, and notes key facts about a state's involvement - for example, although Kentucky was controlled by the North, 25,000 of its citizens fought for the Confederacy. A quote from Abraham Lincoln adorns the bottom, and the foam-backed, wood-framed map includes a metal plaque that can be personalized with up to 50 characters. 33" L x 21" W x 2" D. (3 lbs.)
