Civil War Battles Provides some of the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion and descriptions of the major battles they pertain to. I have selected some of the reports of commanders of these battles, some reports of lesser known individuals involved in the same battles, and other reports that I like because of the individuals that wrote them.

Civil War Biographies Contains a brief biography of some of the major players in the Civil War. The bio information is primarily about their participation in the Civil war. Pictures of the individuals are provided in most cases.

Civil War Medicine It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't good. However, it was all they had.

Civil War Potpourri This is an area that I developed to put Civil War information that just doesn't fit into any particular category. Some really great information in here. Don't leave the site or email me for info until you check this area. This is like a "mini" Civil War encyclopedia.

Confederate States of America This area contains almost all elements of this four year government and its actions. If it's information on the Confederacy you're looking for, be prepared to spend some time here. Lots of data and quite detailed.

Essays on the Civil War Looking for information on such things as Stuart at Gettysburg? How did Lincoln compare to Davis? Could the South have won using a different strategy? Well, you have just hit a gold mine! All of this, and more, is discussed in essays written by some fine modern day historians.

Fox's Regimental Losses If it's stats on the late Rebellion that you're looking for, you found them. This book was published in 1889 and has become the standard for historians using Civil War statistics. Even though I don't have it all, still some good data here, including some data on some very famous units (Union).

Letters About The War These are never before published letters to and from young soldiers "who have seen the elephant," and their family members. If they do nothing else, they will show you just how inadequate we are today in the art of written communication.

Naval War Ever thought about how the Merrimac came to be? Just one of the things you'll find out here. Great place to learn about the Naval aspects of the late Rebellion.

Other Civil War Sites These are my very most favorite Civil War sites on the Internet.

Overview of The Civil War Looking for a site to help you with those pesky history reports? You just found it. This area has a good index to allow you to pick and choose which part of the war you are looking for while still maintaining a smooth flow from beginning to end.

Shotgun's Opinions This area of the site is dedicated strictly to my opinions about the Civil War and life in general. I make no claim that my opinions are based on fact. They are just what the name implies, My Opinions.

Strategy And Tactics No study of the Civil War would be complete without looking at these elements. Lots of good articles here on how and why the war was conducted as it was.
