I established this site in 2001 as a place to record news, notes and narratives as I research and write about volunteer soldiers who served during the Civil War. Today, it is home to information about Faces of War, my column in the Civil War News, and my books, Faces of the Civil War and Faces of the Confederacy.

The history of the Civil War is the stories of its soldiers. I hope you'll find that the stories of these soldiers, and their photographs, deepen your appreciation and understanding of our greatest national conflict.

Your feedback is most important. If you have comments, ideas, or questions, please visit my blog or send an email.
