The Archive Society, Campaigns of the Civil War Expanded, 22 Volumes

Description

In 1994 The Archive Society reprinted a number of Civil War classics based on the famous Scribner’s Campaigns of the Civil War series. The Archive Society included the Scribner’s series The Navy in the Civil War along with reprints of several first-class military histories from the early 20th Century. The entire set is bound in leather with all edge gilt and marbles end pages, making a superb gift for a student of the Civil War.

The Scribner’s volumes are important in that they are among the first to utilize the official records of the Union and Confederate armies, then being edited by the War Department. Further, most are written by a participant in the action described. As such, they are at once carefully analyzed history from primary sources and recollections of combatants.

Most occupy important places in the early historiography of the campaigns.
