ABOUT THIS SITE

Welcome to the USA Civil War Web Site (USACWWS).

Athough the site has over 1,400 photographs and 490 web pages, it is designed to be easy to use. This page and its information should help make it as simple as possible.

There are a variety of subjects which can be 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.

If you get lost, simply follow the links at the bottom of each page to return to the home page () or any intervening pages.

Thank you,

Content Team

IMPORTANT NOTE: battles having two names, i.e. 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.
