Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Phelps and Watson's Historical and Military Map of the Border and Southern States. New York: Phelps & Watson, 1864. 

25 x 35 in. folding map bound within original 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. boards with illustrated cover (some areas of partial separation at fold lines, some edge wear to map; wear to boards, incl. spine, edges and corners). The map is bound together with 35pp. of text entitled, "Brief Description of Battles and Skirmishes of the War," which covers significant events and battles from December 1860 to May 1864. 

The map, which focuses on the southern United States (including the Confederate States), all of the Border States, and some of Texas, contains much statistical detail such as state populations (South Carolina 703,512 including 405,541 enslaved people). 

Property from William H. Itoh, collector, historian and retired Foreign Service Officer
