"""During their two weeks at Spotsylvania Court House, Grant and Lee continually rewrote the landscape as they shifted their forces in opposition to each other. To truly understand the battle, excellent maps are essential. Gottfried's map study sheds invaluable light on these constantly shifting forces, helping students of the battle clearly visualize the dynamic situation on the ground. From Spotsy to the North Anna River to Cold Harbor, Gottfried's maps clearly capture the Overland Campaign's cacophony of movement.""--Chris Mackowski, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, Emerging Civil War ""With The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor Brad Gottfried has produced yet another valuable reference book. The maps, and their accompanying narrative, break down the movements of both armies in such a way that it provides a deep, tactical understanding of the actions within each battle and the overall campaign. This will be a valuable addition to any library.""--Terry Rensel, Executive Director, Central Virginia Battlefields Trust"
