Comment – Interesting historical artifact, and an apparently comprehensive article. I'm inclined to support, except for one thing:
The map, according to the Commons summary box, was "first published in Robert Sneden's diary." Sneden was a Union mapmaker, but Robert Sneden doesn't mention Malvern Hill, and Battle of Malvern Hill doesn't mention him except in a caption on his painting of the battle. This you-are-there personal artifact deserves some exposition in the text of the target article, IMO. Sca (talk) 14:19, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
