A Finding Guide to the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion: Volume 1: Florida - Paperback
About this item
by Thomas R. Long (Author)
This volume is a comprehensive alphabetical finding guide to Civil War-era events in Florida as documented in The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion. It is designed to help researchers, librarians, genealogists, and historians quickly locate battles, engagements, expeditions, occupations, skirmishes, and related military actions within the Official Records without needing to search individual volumes page by page.
Entries are organized by place name and include the date of the event, a concise description, and precise references to the appropriate series, volume, part, and page numbers in the Official Records. Intentional redundancy is used where necessary to reflect how events appear under multiple place names or commands in the original documents, ensuring that users can locate material regardless of how they approach their research.
This guide is a navigational and reference tool rather than a narrative history. It does not interpret events or offer analysis, but instead provides structured access to primary source documentation. Used alongside the Official Records, it allows researchers to move efficiently from geographic location to original reports, correspondence, and orders, making it especially useful for archival research, academic study, and serious independent scholarship.
