3.0 out of 5 stars A useful book for the specialist, less for amateurs, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Confederacy is on Her Way Up the Spout: Letters to South Carolina, 1861-1864 (Paperback)
The value of this and similar primary sources to the specialist should be obvious. I did find that the way the letters were organized -- by year and then by writer -- was confusing. Perhaps it would be better to group all the letters by one author together.

The amateur may be disappointed by the fact that, like many if not most Civil War primary sources, these letters describe rather little action. The editors have left idiosyncratic spellings as is, which I like, but which does make the material a little more difficult to read.
