Thomas represents itself fairly in this book. It gives you what you might expect given the painstaking chore of citing locations of over 1300 monuments & markers: "very general locations", in short, it will get you in the vicinity of a marker, but I would gather you could travel two miles on a road trying to find a marker location described as " West Conferderate Avenue" (I'm not kidding here). A very general road map with the names of main roads is provided on the back cover, but you get no other graphics what so ever, like a grid identification system (i.e. A-3, B-8, etc.), to get you closer than just the name of the road. This guide is good for determining/confirming IF there is a marker on the field for a specific regiment (say a distant relative, great-great grandfather) and where you can wander around to find it, but beyond this it will not save you alot of time or aggravation. Look closely at the Thomas description, it doesn't promise you alot, and you don't get a whole lot.
