    Re: Making a Research Collection

    This volume, and its earlier companion covering 1955-1986, together list about 2,000 personal accounts:

    A catalogue of 596 firsthand accounts of the American Civil War published as books or periodical articles from 1986 to 1996. This listing includes diaries, letters and memoirs written by soldiers, civilians and foreign travellers. The historical importance of such pieces is also examined.


    The book's introduction also cites other major bibliographies of ACW books.

    As to the personal accounts, the two Cole volumes profile those published since 1955, and, therefore, would miss those published prior to then and not reprinted thereafter. The latter should be picked up by one or more of the other major bibliographies.


    Cheers,
