Map of the Seat of War Showing the Battles of July 18, 21st, & Oct. 21st 1861.
Union forces (indicated in blue) and red Confederates populate this map of two early Civil War battles fought near Washington, the First Bull Run and Ball's Bluff. Confederate forces soundly defeated the Union Army in both. Civilians purchased maps like this to track the war's progress.
