A Civil War Infographic (1 Viewer)

[jazzeum]

I never heard of these but this chart showing the history of the Civil War was first produced in 1897 by the Comparative Synoptical Chart Company. It has been preserved by the Library of Congress although the exact or original instructions on how to read it have been lost.

It's quite an unusual chart. See here for a brief description and discussion. http://cwmemory.com/2013/09/16/comparative-and-synoptical-system-applied-to-the-civil-war/
