The
Official Records of the Union and C.S.A. Armies
128 Books
No serious study of
the American Civil War is complete without consulting the Official Records
(OR). The 128 volumes of the “OR” provide the most comprehensive, authoritative
reference on Civil War operations than any other record documenting this war.
The reports contained in the Official Records are those of the principal
leaders who fought the battles and then wrote their assessments. The Official
Records are thus the eyewitness accounts of the veterans themselves.
Series I Contains 111 Books and focuses on
military operations. These include the battle reports for both Union and
C.S.A. armies, arranged chronologically by campaign and theater of
operations. Union reports are followed by C.S.A. accounts. The intent is
to provide a complete history of the event in the same volume.
Series II Contains 8 books, and includes Union
and C.S.A. correspondence, orders, reports, and returns relating to
Prisoners of War, as well as political prisoners.
Series III Contains 5 books, and includes
"miscellaneous" Union correspondence, orders, and reports pertaining
to the organization and logistics of the Union war effort. Series III also
includes calls for troops, correspondence between National and State authorities,
and correspondence between Union and C.S.A. authorities.
Series IV Contains 3 books, and includes
"miscellaneous" correspondence, orders, and reports of the
Confederacy. Also found in Series IV are the General and Special Orders of the
C.S.A. States Army, as well as correspondence relating to conscription and
blockage running.
Index: General Index, and
Additions and Corrections. 1901
As primary source material, the Official Records
are, without question, the most complete and impartial documentation on the
American Civil War. They provide a foundation for serious research into
virtually every aspect of the war.
The
C.S.A. Veteran Magazine - 372 Issues
One of the many privileges of winning a war is that the victors
gain the right to record history as they want
the world to remember them. Too
often, the conquered never get to tell their side of the story. The binding
pride and ideologies of the South are remembered within the volumes of these
historical treasures.
The C.S.A. Veteran Magazine was a window to these ideologies with a greater understanding of
the southern stance to both unify and be remembered for their accomplishments,
struggles and losses.
The C.S.A. Veteran
Magazine was a publication that ran for 31 years with a total of 372 monthly issues between
1893 and 1923. The magazine was published by "The Sons of C.S.A.
Veterans". These historical
references are loaded with articles, photographs, rosters, drawings, maps,
biographies and much more. The contents are literally riddled with product and
service advertisements of the era which give insight to the needs and wants of
a post war turn-of-the-century society.
