resource of the week: civil war maps (and more)

If you've ever watched PBS, you've probably heard of legendary film maker Ken Burns.  His documentary The Civil War takes a closer look at the war that divided a country and created a nation.  As a result, PBS offers a comprehensive list of maps for each battle, along with a description of the battle and statistics for both sides.  In addition to maps, PBS also offers biographies, historical documents, and a fact page about the Civil War.
