What book to get?

[mastereagle22]

Hello. If I wanted to buy a good book with Civil War Relics listed in it to help ID finds which one would you reccommend?

Thanks.

If you hunt with a partner, get a book he/she doesn't have and you can research together. My first book was Civil War Artifacts - A Guide for the Historian - by Howard R. Crouch.

I can't recomend a book, but here is a link to a cool site.

Let me know if you end up with a cool book, I'd be interested too.

Harry is a great reference. He has tons of stuff.
He even got the Alabama Oval Map on Tree Buckle from me. Check it out:

Most Definetly....Before the "Crouch" book I'll guarantee I trashed some good find's....Well worth the money!!!

Yeah Crouch's book is good. I also like Civil War Relics of The Western Campaigns by Charles Harris.

No doubt Crouch and Harris. Then I would get McKee and Mason bullets, then Dickey and George's Arty book, Mullinax's buckle book...and the list goes on and on.
