In the first 10 minutes I provide 5 Campaign/Battle Maps which are directly related to the events in Book 1 (58 B.C.). However they are in no specific order.

End of the Campaign Against the Helvetii - 22:14

The Defeat of Ariovistus - 68:02
Suetonius in his biography of Julius Caesar states that the Gallic and Civil Wars were written by Caesar, and that the 8th book of the Gallic Wars was written by (Aulus) Hirtius. Suetonius also indicates that either Caesar's friend Oppius, or Hirtius likely wrote about the Alexandrian, African and Spanish wars, but that their authorship was not certain. Also, the accounts of the army during the Spanish campaign show a more brutal side to his leadership.
--The text transcribing was done with an attempt to duplicate the original published print, except for a correction of a few printing errors. No attempt was made to update the spelling to that of more modern American English. Suspected spelling errors in names and places were retained, since there was no way to insure which was more correct.
(The Gallic Wars, and The Civil Wars). Based on viewer response the Alexandrian, Spanish, and North African Campaign's maybe uploaded.
