5.0 out of 5 stars
An indispensable reference and core guide,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia: Arms, Uniforms and Equipment of the Union and Confederacy (Vol i) (Paperback)
Any serious collector of Civil War arms, uniforms and equipment should consider the Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia: Arms, Uniforms And Equipment Of The Union And Confederacy as an indispensable reference and core guide in this specialized are of military antiques and collectibles with noted authority Francis A. Lord covering almost everything to do with Civil War memorabilia, from equipment to uniforms on all sides. Over three hundred photos and drawings - many from Lord's own holdings - accent a guide organized by memorabilia categories for quick browsing. If it sounds familiar, the Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia comes with a history: it's a reprint of an original 1963 work - and has lost none of its importance or relevance over time, as it's packed with history and collectibility insights more than values.

5.0 out of 5 stars
And in the beginning there was......!,
By Mike Miner (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia: Arms, Uniforms and Equipment of the Union and Confederacy (Vol i) (Paperback)
An absolutely pioneering ground breaking book on Civil War equipment when it was originally published. I literally wore the covers off mine a thirty years ago! It is nice to see it reprinted. Dr. Lord put extensive research into this work, and to my knowledge it was the first book on Civil War equipment. Historian or collector alike will enjoy this book, and it has stood up to the test of time, despite shelves of books on the subject of Civil War equipment since then. If you don't have one, get one. If you already have one, buy another. It is that good.

Civil War Collection Cornerstone,
By John DeNoma (Orrtanna, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia: Arms, Uniforms and Equipment of the Union and Confederacy (Vol i) (Paperback)
This is the first book I acquired before starting to collect civil war items and was the catalyst for 20 years of collecting and obtaining a civil war library.
