Description

Charles O. Perrine’s first separately issued map, dated 1862, published in Indianapolis during the Civil War, of the states then in rebellion under the title “Perrine’s New Military Map Illustrating the Seat of War” provides a crude but striking depiction of the Southern United States with an insert map of Florida. This version is much rarer than Perrine’s 1864 map entitled the “New Topographical War Map of the South”. Separately printed wartime maps, as well as those published in journals and newspapers, were actively collected and became increasingly important as families attempted to track the location of their loved ones across regions, many of which were unfamiliar to them.
