- Fifty maps show the events, including relatively small engagements, that took place in the successive months of the war.- Thirteen additional maps focus on the Far West theater.- Six maps, beginning with November 1860, detail the political situation in the months leading up to the war's outbreak, and show such information as free and slave states, and the results of the 1860 census and presidential election.- Events of each month, including such details as dates, place names, commanders, and statistics on troop strength and casualties, are summarized in the text facing each map.- Confederate and Union positions, as well as town that were occupied, raided, or burned, are clearly marked.
