A dream come true for researcher and genealogist alike. Tim McKinney has enriched West Virginia Civil War history with his books on the The Civil War In Fayette County, Robert E. Lee at Sewell Mountain: The West Virginia Campaign, and Robert E. Lee and the 35th Star, all within the brief span of tem years. Now, his Civil War Almanac, an outgrowth of his researches into the nation's most tragic war, will place historians, genealogists, Civil War enthusiasts, and other informed readers still more deeply in debt to him. In this, the first of two volumes, McKinney sets high expectations for the usefulness his work and raises keen anticipation for the second volume. Major sources for identifying Civil War veterans from West Virginia include the 1890 Civil War Veteran Census, which includes nearly 14,000 veterans, who had worn either the Blue or the Gray, and were still living in West Virginia in 1890, along with their names, regiments, and periods of service. For many of the veterans there are also special remarks. The 1890 Confederate Index provides names and counties of residence of 1,097 Confederate veterans turned up by extensive research by the author; listings of both Union and Confederate veterans by county of residence; Civil War service medals Of Union veterans identified in the 1890 Census, many of which remain unclaimed at the West Virginia Division of Archives and History; a compilation of West Virginia Confederate soldiers and citizens who died in Federal prisons or military hospitals; an index to records of the Southern Claims Commission, which identifies more than 200 West Virginians who sought compensation from the United States for confiscated or stolen property, and transcribes as examples case files from Greenbrier and Jefferson Counties; and identification, with name, county, and regiment of ore than 160 physicians of the Blue and Gray who were from West Virginia. McKinney's compilations are of interest in their aggregate, but they provide detail that makes the soldier a person rather than a mere number. by Otis K. Rice, Professor Emeritus of History, West Virginia University Institute of Technology

This diary is one of the most unusual produced during the Civil War because it contains very little about military life. Early in the war Van Buskirk abandoned his regiment, working as a schoolmaster, farmhand, and casual laborer. He wrote of the suffering civilians endured at the hands of contending armies. But he also found time to chronicle his fascination with handsome young lads he encountered during his life as a deserter--unwittingly providing modern readers an illuminating glimpse of class differences and sexual mores. Naval, social and sexual historians, in particular, will find much valuable source material.

"If President Lincoln could have unmade a general, perhaps he would have started with Samuel Peter "Sourdough" Heintzelman, whose early military successes were overshadowed by a prickly disposition and repeated Union defeats during the Civil War." "By the time his friend Robert E. Lee left Arlington to lead a Rebel army against the bluecoats, Heintzelman had already seen duty in Mexico, established Fort Yuma in California in 1850, mined for silver in Arizona, and ably led U.S. forces on the Texas-Mexico border during the 1859-60 Cortina War. During the Civil War, he was in the forefront of the fighting at First Bull Run and the disastrous 1862 Peninsula Campaign. He commanded the III Corps of the Army of the Potomac at the siege of Yorktown and in the ferocious fighting at Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Oak Grove, Savage's Station, Glendale, and Malvern Hill. Although he aspired to succeed Gen. George B. McClellan, he was relieved of his command after his troops were badly mauled at Second Bull Run. After demonstrating his inability to guard the southern approaches to Washington, D.C., from Virginia guerillas, he spent the latter part of the war administering prison camps in the Midwest, keeping a watchful eye on Copperhead subversives, and quarreling with more than one disgruntled governor. In early Reconstruction Texas, Heintzelman struggled with the conflict between former Secessionists and Radical Republicans."--BOOK JACKET.
