I am attempting to find a map for this battle. Foords hand drawn map is easily found, but I am at a loss as I try to find any maps that are of the larger region that would show many of the villages that accounts of the battle describe. I "believe" I can locate the battlefield on Google, but the names are still "illegible" to my "limited to english" comprehension of the world. I also found this map earlier http://www.napoleon-online.de/Mohilew1812_Kaussler.jpg
Any help in regards to this battle would be greatly appreciated.
As as aside, it is quite alarming to see the varied interpretations of the battle. One well known writer describes the 3rd Legere being routed/captured the day before the battle. Heaven knows where that oversight came from. Everybody gives acclaim to their own heros. But it does make for provacative reading.
