The best guide available for finding Confederate soldiers,
By A Customer
This review is from: IN SEARCH OF CONFEDERATE ANCESTORS: The Guide (Journal of Confederate History Series) (Paperback)
Well organized, replete with examples, and yet easy to use. Each southern state archive is described with its record holdings. Sources of War Between the States & battlefield information are also provided. Interesting pictures add to the overall presentation. It can't be beat!
