Thus, you will find maps draw by Jedediah Hotchkiss, the map maker for Stonewall Jackson.

The map I mentioned yesterday that shows Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville and Spotsylvania was commissioned by Lee, and drawn by Hotchkiss. It looks very good on the wall in my den. (Of course, thats due to my wife's ability with framing, matting, and other aspects of this nature that I find confusing, troubling, and not worth the effort.....ROTFL!)

Thanks for the link!

The map that Lee used for Gettysburg was drawn by Hotchkiss for Jackson during the winter of 1863 while Jackson was at Moss Neck.
