If all else fails, the VA Hist Soc sells the Civil War Gilmer maps for $20 each. They are VERY large. The VaHS may have details on their webpage on how to order and what's available. I bought one and had it photocopied and laminated at a copy place that could accommodate the large size on a machine that copies blueprints. Marge << Subj: [VAHANOVE] 1863 Hanover/Louisa/Eastward Map Date: 9/14/06 4:51:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: oakst@erols.com (Sally Phillips) Sender: vahanove-bounces@rootsweb.com Reply-to: vahanove@rootsweb.com To: vahanove@rootsweb.com I can't speak to the accuracy of this map as a whole. In fact, I can't see it as a whole! However, I know from family letters and stories that my husband's family, the Phillips family, lived next to the railroad track just outside of Beaverdam between 1860 and 1870. And that is where they show on the map. So at least one tiny detail is right. I have contacted the Library of Congress about getting a large copy of this map. However, I haven't heard back from them. I'm also thinking maybe I can download it onto a CD and take it to a Kinko's and get it printed out on large paper. Any portion I can fit on an 8-1/2 x 11 page is either so zoomed that context is lost or so tiny that legibility is lost. I love that LOC site and need to spend hours and hours more going through their stuff. Sally Phillips >>
