This collection was a key resource on the Civil War both during the war and in the decade following the conflict. It was one of the main sources for access to the content of primary source documents for historians, students, the military, and individuals seeking more in-depth information about the war. It is still used as a period source of newspaper reports from North and South, various documents and reports, public addresses, maps, and engravings. This book contains information from 1861.
