Review
"compilations are of interest in their aggregate, but, they provide the detail that makes the soldier a person rather than a mere number." -- Otis K. Rice, WVU Institute of Technology
From the Publisher
Tim McKinney’s Civil War Almanac, an outgrowth of his research into the nation’s most tragic war, will place historians, genealogists, Civil War enthusiasts, and other informed readers still more deeply in debt to him. Major sources for identifying Civil War veterans, and making up a large part of the book, are the 1890 Civil War Veteran Census and the 1890 Confederate Index. Good detail for genealogy and history research.
