Civil War Firearms

by Donald C. Korstad from Minnesota on 2009-10-19
I found this to be a very informative book on Civil War Firearms. This is not an era from which I collect firearms, but I wanted information on it anyway. With this in mind, I can not give a comparision to other sources.

Enjoyable, educational, and informative!

"Civil War Uniforms" by Copeland is one of my favorites. The color guidelines and details of the uniforms allow them to come alive. Each page tells about the unit that the soldier would have served with. The pictures are very detailed, yet can be enjoyed by children as well as adults. I have become a collector of coloring books, and this one is certainly at the top of my list.

This chess set was wonderful. It was very high quality glass with great Civil War figures. We gave them to our older teens for Christmas an they were thrilled. The value was tremendous and anyone interested in the Civil War would be thrilled with the quality, beauty, and value of the set. It is one of the reasons I enjoy Amazon.

Civil War Collectors Encyclopedia

by Cheryl Maederer from Milwaukee, WI USA on 2008-03-11
Nice vintage book but somewhat out dated. Also way overpriced. Check ebay before you buy one on Amazon.

BUY THE FIRST AND PASS ON THE REST

by Mike Miner from Tennessee on 2007-09-11
I am a big fan of Dr. Lord. He certainly broke new ground when he first published his classic Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia (Vol. 1) which was considered the Bible in the field for years. While many of his other earlier works were just as good, his subsequent works of Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia Vols. 2-5 that he did in later years just kept declining, lacking the original research and text that made his first a classic, not to mention the quality of the memorabilia, as well as the authenticity of some of them. Check out some of his earlier works, you can't go wrong there, and don't pass on Vol. 1 in this series.

A Civil War Reenactors review.

by Michael Drzewiecki from Port Washington, WI United States on 2002-01-05
This book and the 4 following volumes are a great addition to anyones library who is a collector, a historian, a reenactor (like myself) or just has a general intrest in the civil war. It has hundreds of items with photos and descriptions of items ranging from swords to sewing kits to pistols to uniforms. As a reenactor, it was very useful in finding modern items that can pass as civil war period.
