Abstract:
Lore describes a map of New Bern during the Civil War. The map hangs in the Attmore-Oliver House and was painted by Private George W. Williams of the 44th Massachusetts Infantry. Measuring 7.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches tall, the map depicts all the major streets in New Bern, the landmark churches of the town, and the extensive wharves that lined the shores of the two rivers.
