WWW Boston Rare Maps, 22-09-2026 [Charles Worret. The title of the map states that it was "surveyed drawn, compiled & corrected" by 1st Lieutenant Charles Worret (1819-1878), a topographical engineer with the 20th New York Volunteer Regiment. Worret was born in Frankfurt and emigrated to New York, as Wooldridge points out, in the wake of the 1848 European uprisings. He entered the Army in May 1861 for a two-year term along with other German volunteers, who formed their own regiment, the 20th New York Volunteers. He was immediately promoted to sergeant, then to 1st Lieutenant in October 1862, and was discharged on July 9, 1863. (...) Although not a cartographer by profession (...) his service records indicate that from early on he was repeatedly detached to the Topographical Bureau of the Department of Virginia, based at Fort Monroe (William Wooldridge, private correspondence and Mapping Virginia, pp. 298-303)]
