His own research experience and the profuse number of illustrations makes
for an interesting and enjoyable book. The book is especially helpful if you
wish to trace the owner of Civil War weapons and equipment. The author gives
several examples of locating information on soldiers whose names were
inscribed on guns and swords.
Included in the book are details on using the National Archives, State
Archives, how to use the Official Records of the Union and Confederate
armies in the War of the Rebellion and Official Records of the Union and
Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion, going beyond official
records - your guide to million of pages, personnel files and rosters,
acquiring and identifying Civil War equipment and examples of research.
