Condition: New. Facsimile of all steel-plate engravings (134 double page maps detailed in colour), with index Complete facsimile of all the steel-plate engravings, containing 134 maps, colour coded for troop positions, covering campaigns and battles from the Italian Campaigns in the Valley of the Po in 1796, to the Battle of Wat…erloo in 1815. This is an important atlas of significance for Napoleonic students. Jomini was a Swiss officer who served as a general in the French and later in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini's ideas were a staple at military academies, the United States Military Academy at West Point being a prominent example; his theories were thought to have affected many officers who later served in the American Civil War. General Halleck commanded the Department of the Missouri and then the Department of the Mississippi. He led the Union forces during the Corinth campaign before he became the commanding general of the Army on 13 July 1862. He served as commanding general until 9 March 1864, when he was designated as the chief of staff.ContentsCENTRAL EUROPE 1795- NOT NUMBEREDITALIAN CAMPAIGNS OF 1796-7, MAPS 1-28:1.

He evacuated this position 18 April. 4. Situation 26 April. Note: Jomini stated that Napoleons divisions were at Alba on 26 April. He evidently meant the vicinity thereof. On 24 April Colli had his mass opposite Serrurier; however, the capture of Cherasco on 25 April caused his retreat on Turin. The armistice of Cherasco was signed 28 April. 5. Situation on 4 May. Showing position of Napoleonâs divisions on 29 April and moves up to 4 May. Notes: Napoleonâs strength about 35000. 6. Situation late 6 May. Note: Colli was an Austrian.

Wurmserâs First Campaign. Situation 28 July 1796. Notes: Although not mentioned by Jomini; Wurmser did send a small force down the Brenta. This force caused Napoleon to issue orders for Augereau to move on Vicenza. Later these orders were revoked. 10. Wurmserâs First Advance. Situation Early 31 July 1796. Note: Sauret at Salo, was attacked on 29 July and retired to Desenzano, leaving Guyeux besieged in Salo. Massena was attacked by Wurmser early 29 July.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 608 pages, illustrated throughout. Original printed boards. Signed by Paul Bidwell, British archaeologist to front endpaper. Contents clean and bright throughout. The book brings together a wide range of archaeological and historical research on the borders of the Roman Empire, offering a detaile…d snapshot of frontier studies as they stood in the mid-1990s. Across more than eighty scholarly papers, the volume examines military installations, defensive systems, settlement patterns, and material culture from Britain to the Rhine, Danube, and eastern provinces. Contributors explore topics such as the organisation of frontier armies, the development of fortifications, the logistics of supply, and the interaction between Roman forces and local populations. Excavation reports, landscape analyses, and thematic studies sit side by side, creating a comprehensive picture of how Rome managed, defended, and conceptualised its vast imperial boundaries. The book functions both as a record of new discoveries presented at the 1995 international congress and as a major reference work for anyone studying Roman military archaeology or the structure of the Roman frontier system. Size: 21.5 x 30.5 cms. Category: Archaeology; Roman History; Varied Books. ISBN: 1900188473. ISBN/EAN: 9781900188470.

Contact seller5-star seller[3 pp.]. Bifolium. 7.5 x 9.5 inches. On June 18, 1864, Grant ordered Brevet Major General Rufus Ingalls, his Chief Quarter-master General of the Army of the Potomac, to prepare a massive supply depot at City Point, Virginia, just 20 miles from Richmond, capable of supporting the the hundreds of thousands of men and animals for t…he siege of Petersburg, and the fall of Richmond. Less than a month later, a special committee of three was tasked with determining the adequacy of boats between Washington D.C. and City Point, and submitted this report to Colonel Theodore B. Gates pursuant to Special Orders No. 31, ". dated 16th July 1864.inspection of the Steamers "Charlotte Vandebilt", "John Brooks", "Highland Light", and "Keyport", constituting the Mail Line, between Washington and City Point." To comply with the order, the appointed board took small test trips on each boat, assessing the accommodations, meals, and furnishings of each vessel. The detailed report concludes that ". none of the Boats now on the Line are fit for that service," too small, and concerning meals "the Board is of the opinion that they are wretched in quality and insufficient in quantity and by no means worth the price demanded for them." Dated July 22, 1864 and signed by the three boards members: Major E. R. Bowers, R. Loughran, and Darcy A. Patterson. and addressed to Col. Theodore B. Gates (1824-1911), 80th New York Infantry, who has also signed on the last page. In addition to the docketing on the verso of blank leaf which includes further notes on the transmission of the report on July 23rd and 24th, there is a final long note on July 25th signed by Brig. General Rufus Ingalls which names other boats that are suitable for such service. A rare document on what would become one of the busiest ports in the world during the Civil War. Reference: 1.
