I have recently acquired nearly an entire set of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate
Armies. These books were compiled in the 1880's & 90's and included correspondence and battle
reports. They were compiled chronologically therefore allowing all paperwork for battles to be
placed in succesive volumes. These are reprints done by the National Historical Society and
distributed by Broadfoot Publishing in 1985. All are in nearly new condition with only minor
scuffing (if any at all) and some have some minor 'wrinkling' at the top and bottom of the spines
( from packing and this should be able to be worked out ). There aren't too many people looking
for the entire 128 volume set and many are only looking for the volumes on certain battles (not to
mention trying to ship 128 volumes ). Relic hunters find these extremely helpful whern looking for
exact ground to dig and for those that want to understand the battles more, these are the source for
the battle reports and correspondence of both armies. Therefore I am offering these in sets by
volumes of battles. Each set is priced for those in the set and THE PRICE DOES INCLUDE
SHIPPING. More will be listed later. CHECK THE DATES GIVEN FOR THE VOLUMES TO
INSURE THE TIME FRAME DESIRED.
