This hand-drawn map was included in a diary kept by Seth Alden Abbey (1798-1880). At the time of the Fort Sanders fight, Abbey apparently was a sixty-five-year-old sergeant in the 2nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.

The map, which shows Abbey’s conception of the disposition of Union and Rebel troops and artillery emplacements around Knoxville, even includes a cross-hatched rendition of the streets of the town.  Click on it to biggerize, and read the map’s key in the lower right which locates such as the county courthouse, a colored church and a flour mill.
