Did you know that the "official" regimental histories usually omitted any bad behavior, mutinies, or drunken officers? The histories written in the late 1800s were censored, bowldlerized, and sanitized.
If you are writing a book, article, thesis, term paper, or dissertation; researching an ancestor, battle, or regiment; studying a particular battle, abuse of horses, or homosexuality in the Union Navy; or writing about treason, letters that wives sent to their soldiers, bounty jumpers, bushwhackers, or jayhawkers, we can probably help! |

We charge nothing if we can't find anything, $5 for an individual report,
and negotiated sums for large projects.
The proceeds are applied to more research and office supplies.
This project has been largely self-funded, and helped by small grants
from the Tawani Foundation and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
Below are nine books which have used our court-martial material to good advantage.
