The Boston Map Society is pleased to announce its next meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, October 3, 2000 at 5:30 pm. Everyone is invited to
view our new exhibit <bold>A House Divided: Maps of the Civil War</bold>
and to hear a presentation by Earl McElfresh on "Maps and Mapmakers of
the Civil War." Mr. McElfresh is the author of <italic>Maps and Mapmakers
of the Civil War</italic>, a comprehensive and lavishly illustrated book
published in 1999. This volume provides the most thorough examination of
Civil War maps, mapmaking, and mapmakers documenting the techniques and
travails of the mapmaker in the field. A book signing and reception will
follow the presentation.


For those unable to attend this meeting the exhibit will continue through
March 1, 2001 and selected images are available at:
