From the American Battlefield Trust, an unparalleled collection of
their popular battle maps of the Revolutionary War.
"Wow! I just love those maps that you guys send to me." It is a phrase
that the staff of the American Battlefield Trust hears on a weekly basis
and the expression refers to one of the cornerstone initiatives of the
organization, mapping the battlefields of the Revolutionary War, War of
1812, and the American Civil War.
The American Battlefield Trust is the premier battlefield preservation
organization in the United States. Over the last thirty years the
American Battlefield Trust and its members have preserved more than
54,000 acres of battlefield land across 145 battlefields, in twenty-four
states--at sites such as Lexington & Concord, Brandywine, Yorktown,
Shiloh, and Gettysburg. Other than physically walking across the
hallowed battle grounds that the American Battlefield Trust has saved,
the best way to illustrate the importance of the properties that we have
preserved is through our battle maps.
Through the decades, the American Battlefield Trust has created hundreds
of maps detailing the action at major battles. Now, for the first time
in book form, we have collected the maps of some of the most iconic
battles of the Revolutionary War. In Vol. 3 of our Battle Maps of the
American Battlefield Trust series, you can follow the course of the war
from Lexington & Concord to the British surrender at Yorktown. Study the
major actions of the Revolutionary War from start to finish utilizing
this unparalleled collection of maps.
