5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide available for finding Confederate soldiers, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
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!
