Antiques Roadshow civil war map book

Tonight (March 27,2006) on Antiques Roadshow (Texas) was a woman who had a map book from the civil war, near the end (from the Union). I don?t have any more information than that, but I?m sure a devout Civil War buff saw the episode and is desperately attempting to track this woman for a copy of the maps.
The show was listed in the guide as:

Antiques Roadshow - Wedgwood Fairyland Lustreware; Mickey Mantle?s Watch; settee. (Part 3 of 3). 65737

Good luck and good hunting.

The woman who was presenting it was showing it in conjunction with a Confederate bible. The map book and bible were family heirlooms. He grand uncle (? or something) was the map maker for a Union group -showing my military/civil war level here. :) He made the maps after the battles to show the Union advances. The woman was based in texas and didn?t seem to have any interest in selling. I believe the final bid (memory is hazy now) was under $10,000.
