FLAGS OF THE CONFEDERACY
Did you know?
Though never officially adopted by the Confederate House or Senate, the Bonnie Blue Flag was the first flag to represent the Confederate states as a unifed group.
The first national flag was never officially adopted but it was first flown on March 4, 1861, the day Abe Lincoln was sworn into office.
The Second National flag was first used to drape the coffin of beloved Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson. Because it appeared on the $100.00 bill as did Gen. Jackson it became known as the Jackson flag.
These are just a few of the fun and interesting facts you will learn from this handy little book. With this book in hand you can put an end to just about any flag argument.

COMPANY AYTCH REVISED
Paper back edition; One of my favorite books. I've read and re-read this book at least a dozen times.
Pages yellowing and growing brittle with age, Sam Watkin's own hand-marked revision of Co. Aytch was known only to his family until his great grand-daughter, Ruth Hill Fulton McAllister, determined to share it with the world. Never before published, here is the Civil War classic as Sam wanted it revised--complete with his edits, new perspectives, authoritative text, and images of his changes.
Co. Aytch has reigned as one of the most memorable and honest depictions of the American Civil War since its original publication in 1882. Sam R. Watkin's first hand account of life as a Confederate soldier eloquently captured the realities of war, the humor and pathos of soldiering, and the tragic, historic events in which he participated.
although there have been dozens of versions of Co. Aytch published, this is the first with new material and revisions by Sam Watkins himself. Intending to republish after his first edition sold out, Watkins edited and revised Co. Aytch, adding perspective that only came with time. He died before accomplishing his goal. Now more than one hundred years later, Watkin's great-granddaughter Ruth Hill Fulton McAllister is fulfilling Watkin's dream. Featuring his yellowed, aged, and pencil-marked copy handed down through different family members, this definitive volume combines the ageless text with Sam Watkin's intended revisions.
this new edition incorporates actual images of Watkin's handwritten additions, all his desired editorial changes, and more than forty images. Desiring to be true to both her ancestor's wishes and the sanctity of his classic memoir, McAllister skillfully includes Watkin's additions and artfully indicates what he would have omitted, leaving the original text intact. The result is a rich, expanded, definitive version of Co. Aytch, sure to fascinate historians, Civil War enthusiasts, and new readers alike.
Samuel R. Watkins was born in 1839 near Columbia, Tennessee. He enlisted into the First Tennessee Infantry, Company H (the "Maury Grays"), at the beginning of he Civil WAr. Upon surrender, Watkins was one out of only seven men remaining from the 120 originally enlisted in his regiment. Encouraged by friends and family, Watkins first published his memories as a newspaper series and then finally in book form in 1882. Co. Aytch was almost immediately hailed as an important Civil War work. Sam Watkins died on July 20, 1901, at the age of sixty two. His great-granddaughter Ruth Hill Fulton McAllister earned a bachelor's degree in history from Vanderbilt University.

THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS 4-19-1862
Tired of carrying around that same old lame copy of Harper's Weekly? How about a little Southern News for a change? We have just reprinted the Shelbyville Tennessee Tri-Weekly News dated April 19, 1862. Volume 1, Number 1. The premier issue. Union General Mitchell and his troops had just passed through Shelbyville on their way to Huntsville. Naturally the first thing they did was to close the Shelbyville Expositor, the local paper loyal to the Confederacy. So up jumps the Tri-Weekly to take it's place. Although ran by loyal Unionist they are still very civil, no CS bashing yet. I don't think they are sure of just what they can get away with. The new T-W is no abolitionist paper! They run this small paragraph, "If a few abolitionist were hung just for example, it would do more to restore the Union than a bloody victory." They report news as they receive it from local sources as well as Southern and Northern papers.
The Bivens Brothers, makers of the most sought after Southern Cartridge box, the Shelbyville Arsenal box, have their ad in the Tri-Weekly stating that they are still working but temp. out of the saddle making business, but should have saddle trees back in stock soon. Looks like Gen. Mitchell's boys helped there selves to the Southern saddles. Even the Expositor runs an ad stating that they are still in the printing business. Evidently the boys in blue took it easy on them and did not smash their presses. Sketchy reports from Shiloh are trickling in, The T-W reports which Bedford County boys were killed and wounded. Also a great story of capturing a group of women on Island # 10. The capture of Huntsville Ala. The Emancipation of Slaves in the District of Columbia, Price controls mandated in New Orleans, CS Free Trade act, A story of the churches in Huntsville donating their bells to the CS foundry. And much more!

REMINISCENCES of the 41st TENNESSEE
Eighteen year old Sumner A. Cunningham joined his local home guard near Shelbyville Tennessee in late October of 1861 and was immediately assimilated into a new Confederate Regiment, the 41st Tennessee Infantry. Rising to senior noncommissioned officer rank, his experiences were those of the Army of Tennessee through the next three years. He received limited military training, was captured at Fort Donelson, and spent time as a prisoner of war in Camp Morton, Indiana. After his exchange, he marched in the failed Mississippi campaign to free Vicksburg, saw action around Jackson and Raymond, at Port Hudson, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and the Atlanta and Tennessee Campaigns. There, he fought with bravado at Franklin and Nashville before he deserted.
Reminiscences of the 41st Tennessee: The Civil War in the West is based on his wartime diary, which he published in 1872 for his middle Tennessee market. Cunningham's military account is a refreshingly candid examination of his daily life in the Army of Tennessee. From combat and heroism, to fear and cowardice, and disease, his is an unusually honest insight into the Confederacy in the West. John A. Simpson, editor.
Of course this book will appeal to all those who's interest are the daily life of the soldier in the Army of Tennessee. Mr. Cunningham gives us a very candid look at that aspect of the war. I enjoy S.A. Cunningham's style of writing and editing. I must not be the only one as he founded and ran the Confederate Veteran Magazine for years and it is still being published today. This book will also be of great interest to anyone specializing in the fight around Vicksburg. S. A. gives great detail as to where they were marched and counter marched. This should be very helpful to our relic hunting friends in Mississippi. This book is also a fresh view of the Atlanta, Franklin and Nashville campaigns and should help in your overall understanding of that subject.

RUSSELL'S CIVIL WAR PHOTOGRAPHS
116 HISTORIC PRINTS
Capt. A. J. Russell did not photograph celebrities, run fashionable photo galleries or publish collections of his "views"; most histories of American photography can barely stretch his biographical data into a paragraph. His peers and superiors recognized the quality of his work, but as with other unassuming photographers of the Civil War, many of his pictures were later attributed to Brady. Yet he is unquestionably a major figure in 19th century American photography, a pioneer in every sense: he was one of only two or three official Civil War photographers, perhaps the only one who was also a soldier; after the war he headed west to become the official photographer of the Union Pacific Railroad as it breaches the frontier.

MOSBY'S WAR REMINISCENCES
John Singleton Mosby was acknowledged as one of the legendary military geniuses of the War Between the States. Despite having no military training, Mosby excelled in hit and run tactics which constantly frustrated the enemy invaders of his native Virginia and earned him the nickname of the "Grey Ghost". Wreaking havoc among the Federal supply lines and forcing the field commanders to detach large numbers of troops to guard their communications, his forays even took his men within the lines guarding Washington, with Mosby himself often doing the advance scouting in disguise. In his "War Reminiscences, Mosby relates the thrilling exploits which comprised his brief, but illustrious career as a Confederate partisan.

THE CAPTURE OF ATLANTA
A legend in his own lifetime, William Tecumeseh Sherman conducted one of modern history's most brilliant military campaigns. His scorched earth tactics - crushing the enemy's strategic, economic, and psychological resources - broke the backbone of the Confederacy, hastening the end of the American Civil War and forever changing the nature of warfare. These highlights from Sherman's monumental Memoirs trace his blazing trail across Georgia and the Carolinas, recounting the general's reasoning in his won words, as well as the execution and effects of his maneuvers. (There words, not mine. J.W.S.)

THE IMMORTAL SIX HUNDRED
If you've never heard of the Immortal Six Hundred you are not alone. Even though it was once a very popular and well publicized subject few today know more than the name. The only reason that I am familiar with the subject is because one of our local boys (Bedford Co. Tn.) was among their number. I am very happy to see this book back in publication.
There is no apology to be made for the publication of this history of the six hundred Confederate prisoners of war confined on Morris Island by order of the Federal government. It is put in print for two reasons: First, to preserve the record of this gallant band; second, to give to the world a true history of the wanton cruelty inflicted upon helpless prisoners of war, without the least shadow of excuse. The treatment meted to the prisoners is a blot upon the escutcheon of the United States that can never be blotted out nor removed. It was cowardly, it was inhuman, and cruel. The names of the men responsible for this cruelty must be written - and they will be written - upon history's blacklist of cruel men.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Although this book may not be directly related to the American Civil War it is a very enjoyable one and certainly a book worth owning. If you have read many of the period newspapers or magazines of the day then you are aware that he was often quoted and his wisdom and sage advise was still very much admired during the American Civil War period. I'm somewhat biased as I have always been an admirer of Dr. Franklin. A self made man who was willing to use just as much brawn as he did brain to achieve his goals. An example that is just as relevant today as it was during his lifetime.
Blessed with enormous talents and the energy and ambition to go with them, Franklin was a statesman, author, inventor, printer, and scientist. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and later was involved in negotiating the peace treaty with Britain that ended the Revolutionary War. He also invented bifocals, a stove that is still manufactured, a water harmonica, and the lighting rod.
This is a highly readable 136 page account which offers a wonderfully intimate glimpse of the Founding Father sometimes called "the wisest American".

MEMORANDA DURING THE WAR
Written by Walt Whitman. This is the true account of the famous authors experiences as a hospital volunteer during the war between the states. His visits to hospitals in the field and in Washington itself are a rare glimpse into a seldom spoken subject. The poor pitiful death of so many before their time. Whitman sits with them and talks with those well enough to speak, comforts them as best he can, and records their thoughts as well as his for our benefit today. Sometimes recording dates, names, and battles. No glory and parades down main street, just the cold hard brutal truth of war.

THE BOYS WHO WENT TO WAR
FROM THE CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY 1861-65
There is much to be learned here for both the military and the civilian re-enactor. Anyone seeking information on early war Middle Tennessee units in general would find this book helpful as well a very enjoyable read.
The photos, both civilian and military are worth the price of the book not to mention the letters. One of the things I find most interesting is the civilian dress of the young, military age men who would have to be considered "middle class". I think that's a fair assumption, they were in college. Seldom do we see such a comparison which is dated and the subjects identified. You know the location (Mid. Tn) and the economic status. I would be very interested to know of any other similar examples. Most of these young men are similar in dress but many small differences can also be seen. In that respect I think the civilian re-enactor will find this book very useful.
This book is a combination of 2 original autograph books, with photographs, compiled by a student at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. This collection of albumen images of Civil War participants represents one of the largest of its kind. it is not often that pictures of two specific militia units (Lebanon Greys and Wilson Blues) of a town and county, have been preserved and readily identified. These two militia groups eventually became elements of Companies H and K of the 7th Tennessee Infantry. Capsule Biographies relating the fascinating stories of these students and faculty members have been gathered from files maintained at the national Archives and Records Administration. This information revealed that not all of "The Boys" fought for the Confederate cause, but a few were Unionists and Neutrals and some only Sympathizers. Here is a unique chapter of Tennessee history!
A note of interest; The Lebanon City Museum has an canteen from one of the members of the 7th Tn. Inf. It is the simple Mex. War style of tin drum canteen. An exact match for the one we sell.

THE DIARY of a TAR HEEL CONFEDERATE
"This diary was commenced for the fun of writing down my experiences as a soldier from the Old North State. I never thought for a moment that I would put it in print; but now that I am getting old and have read so many histories written by our officers, but have never seen in print a history written by a private. I know that my diary is truly the life of the man behind the gun, therefore I make bold to publish it. I am sure my experience was that of other privates, and a true history of my companies and regiments, as well as the Brigade, Division and even Corp that I belonged to. I am certain that the men of '61 to '65 who read this will recall most vividly the camping, marching, fighting and suffering they endured in those never-to-be-forgotten days of long ago. And to the younger generation of Southern born it will show how we endured and suffered, but still fought on for the cause we know was right."
Louis Leon
Original publication 1913
Whenever I find a new book written by the common soldier I always wonder, "what took me so long to find this book?
Am I the only one who did not know about it"? To me there is no better source for information than these obscure little books, that is why whenever possible I offer them for sale. This particular book is a little different, not in it's content but in it's view. Our hero, Louis Leon was not a rough and ready backwoodsman who grew up with a squirrel rifle in his hands. He was a young Jewish store clerk and not quite ready to meet the rigors of camp life, at least not at first. I had never considered what it must have been like for the thousands of patriotic city dwellers who volunteered for Confederate service until I read this book. This is his actual diary, it is not memoirs. The entries were written the day of or soon there after so his memory is not to be questioned.

THE TULLAHOMA CAMPAIGN
One of the most overlooked critical campaigns of the war. In 11 days of constant skirmishing and maneuvering in a pouring rain, Union General (Old Rosey) Rosecrans gains middle Tennessee with a swift well executed plan and leaves Confederate Gen. Bragg to wonder "what the hell just happened?" This campaign produced some of the most memorable moments of the war. The first use in battle of the Spencer repeating rifle by a brigade as well as Confederate General Pat Cleburne's Whitworth Sharpshooters first time in battle. Not to be forgotten, Confederate Gen. Wheelers famous leap into the flood swollen Duck River just to name a few. Middle Tennessee was the bread basket for not only the Army of Tennessee but tons of beef where shipped out daily to feed the army of Northern Va. and all points south. When Bragg lost Tennessee he lost the war in the west.
And since it took place at the same time as Gettysburg and Vicksburg it got very little press even when it happened.
President Lincoln said of the campaign "It's the most brilliant piece of strategy that I know of".
This book is without a doubt the best and most complete look at this seldom remembered campaign. The latest in a series of books by author / historian Dr. Michael R. Bradley

IMPORTED CONFEDERATE UNIFORMS
Imported Confederate Uniforms of Peter Tait & Co., Limerick, Ireland by Frederick R. Adolphus.
Imported Confederate Uniforms of Peter Tait & Co., Limerick, Ireland is a 72-page, full color, illustrated reference book covering the most famous imported Confederate uniform of the Civil War. It is, to date, the only reference that includes documentation and photos of every surviving Peter Tait uniform known to exist. A total of 126 color images document these blue-gray uniforms, along with several additional black and white photos from the war era. The color photos offer different perspectives and close-ups showing construction details, lining, stitching, and size stamps used in Peter Tait jackets and trousers. They also include the faces, back marks, and Tice numbers of every button used on Peter Tait jackets. Furthermore, readers will not need to squint at the pictures. The book is an ample 8 ½” x 11” (21.5 cm x 28 cm) format, allowing for large images and crisp details of every Tait jacket.
In addition to the detailed photos, the well-documented text specifies the number of uniforms delivered to the Confederacy and the places the soldiers wore them. The provenance of each Tait jacket is included along with the soldier’s service record. The usage of the Peter Tait uniform in the Army of Northern Virginia, the Carolina Campaign, the Mobile Garrison, and the Department of the Trans-Mississippi proves that this imported Confederate jacket was the Confederacy’s one truly universal uniform.
Adolphus’ research is supported by 67 end notes, almost exclusively taken from primary sources and original Confederate documents. Far from an exercise in conjecture, this study fills a void with factual information about the acquisition, delivery, and use of the Tait uniform. The author also proves that Peter Tait was not the only manufacturer of the “Tait” uniform. Alexander Collie and Hebbert & Co., London provided their share, as well.
This book thoroughly documents the contribution of Ireland and Great Britain to the Southern armies, and is a “must have” for anyone interested in imported Confederate uniforms.
