Civil War Interactive

The breadth of information at this Web site is extraordinary. The site includes a Reference Library with information on flags, uniforms, and weapons, and Selected Writings with works of famous authors who fought in the Civil War. Other features include The Vault, an archive of articles from past pages; This Day in the Civil War; an amateur writer's contest; and even lyrics and sheet music for Civil War-era songs. A section containing letters and diaries is called "adult oriented."
