American Campaigns - Vols. I (Text) and II (Maps)

The "American Campaigns" volumes offer an in-depth exploration of American military history from the Revolutionary War through to the Spanish-American War through two comprehensive books, one with text and the other with maps.

Ours is in excellent condition and had an interesting earlier owner. More about that below.

— Lee Wright | Founder

Volume I (Text): This volume delves into the detailed narratives of significant American military campaigns, providing extensive historical context and analysis. It covers various campaigns with a focus on strategic, tactical, and operational aspects, enriched by historical insights and expert commentary.

Volume II (Maps): Complementing the textual analysis of Volume I, this volume features an array of detailed maps that illustrate the geographical and tactical elements of the campaigns discussed. These maps provide a visual representation of the strategies and movements involved, offering readers a deeper understanding of the terrain and battlefield dynamics.

About the previous owner, Brigadier General Ogden J. Ross

Ogden John Ross was a prominent American politician and U.S. Army general from New York. Born in Troy, New York, he studied law and practiced in his hometown. Ross served in the Pancho Villa Expedition of 1916 and fought in World War I as a first lieutenant, earning a citation for valor. He continued his military career in the National Guard, eventually becoming a colonel and later a brigadier general. He played a significant role in the New York State Senate and held various state commissions. His brigade fought in the Pacific theater during World War II. Ross was promoted to major general in 1956 and passed away in 1968, with his final resting place at Oakwood Cemetery in Troy.
