Inscribed and SIGNED by author. INTRODUCTION The idea for this volume originated in 1990, when New York State Newspaper Project field cataloger Beverly Denninger discovered while performing her duty of ferreting out any and all newspapers in Central New York, several bound volumes of Civil War-era New York Heralds about to be discarded. She called the Project staff at the New York State Library in Albany and it was decided to save the papers for some useful purpose. Upon their arrival in Albany, it was discovered that the Heralds' pages contained many engraved maps for the years 1861-1865. Shortly after this revelation, the Project -- which had begun in 1987 to actively inventory, catalog and microfilm New York State's newspapers with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities -- formed a non-profit group called the Friends of the New York State Newspaper Project. The Friends, who help publicize the Project and raise microfilming funds to be matched by NEH, were approached with the idea of publishing a book of maps to be reprinted from the rescued Heralds, a proposal they supported. It was soon decided to add soldiers', sailors' and civilians' letters published in other newspapers from across the Empire State during the War of the Rebellion in order to add depth and immediacy to the information contained in the maps. The slow process of compiling and editing the maps and letters began, with the help of Project staff, several members of the State Library's staff, and a few Friends, who all volunteered hundreds of hours of their own time to' help make the idea a reality. 134 pages.…

Terms of sale
We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.

Shipping terms
We generally ship by the next business day. We want your order to reach you in the same condition it leaves our shelves -- so much so that we've created our own brand of shipping mailer. CorgiPack¿ mailers are constructed with a B-flute corrugated fiberboard pad providing solid edge and corner protection in transit, protection sadly lacking in cheap bubble mailers. And they're 100% recyclable -- just put them out with the household paper! International orders are shipped via AIR and should arrive in 7 to 10 days after shipping. Oversize items (e.g. sets containing 2 or more volumes, 4to, folios) and high cost items are sometimes subject to additional shipping charges; we will contact you for your approval if such is the case. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. International shipments may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
