The Photographic History of the Civil War - Complete 1st edition 10 Volume set
These volumes
contain an American epic told in actual photographs. The ten volumes contain
thousands of scenes photographed between 1861-65 by Matthew B. Brady
and many others. Each volume is divided into sections or chapters with
articles written by many special authorities on the Civil War edited by Francis Trevelyan Miller (1911-12). 3,629 Photographs taken in the war between 1861-65 accompanied by additional text that identifies
people, places or situations plus a wealth of information and
reference making this a must have set for any Civil War historian. All ten volumes share a subject, place and surname
index.
The collection of photographs is in itself an invaluable contribution
to military and historical record. The military movements of the
Armies and Navies were studied extensively to properly stage the great
scenes that are presented in these volumes. This collection also
includes a chronological summary and record of historical events and of
important engagements of the Union and Confederate Army and Navy.
These volumes provide a unique opportunity to see the realities of a war that tore a country apart, not just read about the
battles, soldiers and statistics.

About Our CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or subject
areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each CD is
truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of
research information. The age of most of these text make them
inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and
fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock
and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them
unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages
of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival
copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of
these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a
CD. The average cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many home
researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your leisure
and your schedule while in the comfort of your home. Additionally you can still
print individual or groups of pages as you need directly from your CDs.
Giving you the best of both old and new research techniques. Unless
otherwise noted most pdf Files are now searchable. Searchable pdf
files allow single or multiple file searches with one
search request.
Our CDs are designed to be easily
used even for those new to
computers. The opening
menu, which opens much like a web page (utilizing your browser and a link like
navigation system), is easily navigated and extremely user
friendly.

Adobe Reader to the newest version available. Updates are available as free downloads at adobe.com. Our CDs now work with both
