Historical Atlas of United States Congressional Districts: Seventeen Hundred and Eighty-Nine Thru Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Three

From Library Journal\nThe first entry in this projected three-volume series was The Historical Atlas of United States Congressional Districts, 1789-1983 , edited by Martis & Ruth Anderson ( LJ 4/1/83). The meticulous scholarship applied in that work is also evident in this second entry. Specialists viewing the detailed multicolored maps will see new possibilities for historical inquiry as the dynamics of local, regional, and national elections are made graphically evident. The party affiliation of each member of Congress is clarified, with sources cited. Martis breaks new ground here, especially in regard to 19th-century figures affiliated with third parties and similar amalgamations. The introductory section helps place the vast amount of information (the bibliography lists 700 sources) conveyed by the atlas's maps and statistical pie charts into proper historical and political context. This outstanding reference tool should be in all academic libraries and is highly recommended for others who can afford the reasonably high cost. --Gary D. Barber, SUNY at Fredonia Lib.

PRENTICE/HALL

From Library Journal\nMartis (geography, West Virginia Univ.) sets out to depict and analyze the impact of geographical factors on the Confederate Congress, stating that his "nonmilitary, nonbattlefield approach focuses upon the inner Civil War: the feelings, issues, and political influences of the civilian Confederate population as expressed through their national elected representatives." In fact, Martis has created a unique resource that presents, through text, tables, and 45 clearly keyed color maps, tabulated election returns in the Confederacy; a compilation of Confederate congressional district laws; party affiliation of congressional representatives; unionist/secessionist sentiment; and roll-call votes on specific issues. The splendid maps are the work of Gyula Pauer, the director of the University of Kentucky Cartographic Laboratory. The extensive bibliography includes references to relevant atlases. This unusual and beautifully produced atlas is highly recommended as a reference resource for any library, public or academic, with a Civil War collection or a significant number of Civil War buffs among its patrons.

Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nFrom Booklist\nAs proclaimed by its author, this atlas "examines the Civil War in a way never before attempted." It is the first Civil War atlas not to focus on military affairs. Martis has produced three atlases dealing with the U.S. Congress: The Historical Atlas of U.S. Congressional Districts, 1789-1983 (Free Press, 1982), The Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress, 1789-1989 (Macmillan, 1989), and The Historical Atlas of State Power in Congress 1790-1990 (Congressional Quarterly, 1993). He now turns his attention to documentation of the Congress of the Confederacy. 
This work contains 45 maps (most of them in color) and 48 statistical tables, along with considerable accompanying text that explains the significance of the maps. The work is divided into six chapters, including introductory and concluding ones. Of the remaining chapters, one documents the provisional Confederate Congress of 1861-62. Another explores the characteristics of the Confederate districts, including such factors as slave population, land value, prior political sentiment, and extent of Union occupation during the course of the war. Yet another chapter illustrates electoral behavior; since there were no formal political parties in the Confederacy, Martis looks at such factors as the return of incumbents, or the prior political affiliation and support for succession of the various congressmen. A final chapter documents and illustrates a number of key votes, as well as patterns of high or low support for the key issues of conscription, impressment, and the support of the government of Jefferson Davis. There are four appendixes, including one that presents the complete extant Confederate electoral returns. 
This is an impressive and meticulously documented work. The maps are attractive and easy to read; at times, however, reference to the text is necessary to make complete sense of them. The maps labeled "Confederate Support," for example, illustrate high or low support for efforts by Davis and the Central Confederate government to expand their power in response to wartime conditions. The text carefully documents the history and the various characteristics of the Confederate Congress, particularly those aspects subject to geographic analysis. For example, Martis shows how the large number of representatives from occupied districts was an important element of the Confederate Congress. These representatives, sheltered from retaliation from their constituents who were behind Union lines, supported many drastic measures by the Confederate government that may have prolonged the war. 
The only other reference work to focus on the Confederate Congress is the Biographical Register of the Confederate Congress (
