"This book will guide the reader to works and sources that will be
valuable in a particular area of study. It should serve those who
are turning their attention to one of its many facets they haven't

new or experienced, false starts and wasted effort, and speed them
on their way to the productive examination of America's "fiery
trial.,.""-Confederate Veteran

serious scholars.... Woodworth's work...is simply a treasure-trove
of Civil War knowledge, going well beyond the boundaries of

recommended.?-Choice
