Many of our members research their interest in the War Between The States, (commonly called the American Civil War) quite deeply, some extend this research into the actual people who took part, the soldiers of the day. Not just the uniforms they wore, the life they led but also their families, homes and their genealogy. 

Some members like to take on the part of their corresponding 1860's soldier, they attempt to become the man (or woman) who lived and fought on those famous battle sites, to give added realism to the impression created of the soldiers in the field. 

Facilities exist for anyone interested in the  history of individuals to access the original Company records. 

In many respects the War Between The States was a modern war, records and photographs abound. Many books and web sites are devoted to the historical background, many give graphic accounts told from first hand records of the bravery and sacrifice of the common soldier. Soldiers spent considerable time in training and drill and often had plenty of time to indulge in recreational interests, those with an education often kept diaries, many wrote letters home describing their conditions and fears. Diaries and letters survive and it is from these records together with the copious Regimental or Company records that we can learn more about our Comrades in Arms.
