ABOUT THIS SITE

Welcome to the U. S. A. Civil War Web Site (USACWWS).

Athough the site has over 1,400 photographs and 490 web pages, it is not overly complicated to use. (The brief description of the site, presented below, should help.)

There are a variety of subjects accessed via the Image map on the home page, but the over 1,400 Civil War Photographs are the primary focus of this site. Once you move from the site's home page to the main photograph page, you can easily access any of the photographs via subject matter links.

And if you get lost, Heaven forbid!, simply follow the links at the bottom of each page, to return back to the home page () or any intervening pages.

Finally, I cannot pass up the opportunity to ask you to sign my guestbook. It will take you very little time and will provide me with a wealth of information.

Good luck,

PS: Please note that on this site, battles having two names, ie., named after a stream (North) or location (South), are listed by the location name. For example;

Manassas instead of Bull Run,
Murfreesboro instead of Stones River,
Sharpsburg instead of Antietam, and
Shiloh instead of Pittsburg Landing.
