The Civil War Catalog
« on: January 24, 2010, 05:12:07 AM »
Picked up a new book at Books-A-Million the other day. Its called "The Civil War Catalog" by Antony Shaw.

Its a pretty nice hardback book with lots of nice pics of gear used in the war. If you have not got a chance to look at this book you should check it out. Its worth it in my opinion. I only paid 12.95 for mine on the sale table.

Thanks for the info whb. I'll have to check it out when I get back to B-A-M. They have a preety good selection of Civil War titles. You just have to watch out for the nay-sayer authors.
Sounds like you found a good one.

Oh yeah, Welcome to the forum...

This is the description on the back.

Illustrated with more than 150 Black and white original photos, artworks, and color photography of battlefields today.

Contains a fine series of color photographs of many of the rarest remaining artifacts of the period.

Authoritative text describes not only the major events that decided the war, but also recreates the everyday lives, dangers, equipment, and responsibilities of the men, Confederate and Union, Generals and volunteers.
