The Civil War Reenactors' Encyclopedia will serve as the indispensable Bible to all who participate in reenactments of Civil War battles and units, whether they are loyal to the Lost Cause of the Confederacy or are rallying around the flag of the Union forever. This book contains all the information anyone will ever need to replicate exactly the uniforms, equipment, insignia, and significant events of all the major campaigns of the Civil War.
