User:Donner60/American Civil War Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a Wikipedia user page. This is not an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user to whom this page belongs may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself.

The following list of American Civil War books contains books in my library mainly on battles and campaigns. I have split some topics off into two other sub-pages because the single page was a full list of my books about the American Civil War in alphabetical order by author's last name. It was becoming too long to save additions easily or to find books on specific topics. The additional pages are User:Donner60/American Civil War Library References, General Topics and User:Donner60/American Civil War Library Biographies, Memoirs, Overviews.

As part of this project to facilitate research and have ready citations in a full, proper form, I am placing the titles in categories or topic sections to make titles easier to find and cite. I have tried to keep only one entry for each book even though some could fit into several topics. There are a few exception here I have left one or a very few titles in two sections, especially if the book was relevant to topics are on the different library pages.

I also have a partial (still incomplete) list of mostly pre-1925 books that I have downloaded at User:Donner60/American Civil War bibliography from Internet. My old ACW References page now lists only citations and quotes and general facts for American Civil War articles in various categories. It is still quite incomplete and may not ever be finished as the general resource I had first planned. In addition to general facts, the page does have a long section with citations and quotations from reliable sources concerning the Battle of Palmito Ranch as the last battle of the American Civil War.

"While citations should aim to provide the information listed above, Wikipedia does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style. A number of citation styles exist including those described in the Wikipedia articles for Citation, APA style, ASA style, MLA style, The Chicago Manual of Style, Author–date referencing, Vancouver system and Bluebook." Wikipedia:Citing sources. July 17, 2016. I use the Chicago Manual of Style format. It is easier to understand and edit. It can have one or two more pieces of information. ISBNs are checked automatically by the Wikipedia template, and that is the only advantage in its use of which I am aware. In 2018, "magic links" have been deprecated and the advantage of automatically checked ISBNs can be attained by using the correct format for ISBNs and still use the Chicago Manual of Style format. Wikipedia:Book sources and Help:ISBN are pertinent Wikipedia pages.

I have made short list of books likely to be frequently cited which I have left at the beginning of this page for easy reference although I have also added it to User:Donner 60/American Civil War Library References and General Topics. Most articles on the American Civil War use the Chicago Manual of Style format, mainly thanks to Hal Jespersen, User:Hlj, no longer an active user. I prefer this style as well. I have mobed Wikipedia templates for the often use citation style for a number of my reference books to the new sub-page.

Hal's publication of his American Civil War bibliography on his user pages gave me the idea to put my books on a user sub-page for ready reference in a proper format. I also use his templates below for examples of articles from journals, magazines or books.

I have books on subjects other than the American Civil War, which in turn are mostly military history books. They are listed on the following pages User:Donner60/Military History Library. Includes books on all wars in which the United States has been a party through the Korean War (and one book on the Viet Nam war) unless included in one of the separate pages shown next. User:Donner60/Colonial era bibliography. User:Donner60/American Revolution Library. User:Donner60/World War II Library. User:Donner60/Ancient, Medieval and Miscellaneous History Library. The miscellaneous history is mostly European history and in fact is almost all early world/military history. User:Donner60/General and Miscellaneous History Library includes general histories, railroads, religions, American Old West. User:Donner60/Science Library; pending completion.

This is a partial list of American Civil War books that I own. They are, or should be, shown in the Chicago Manual of Style format. This was the entire list until August 2020 when I began moving some titles to two new sub-pages so further additions might be more easily saved. The titles in the frequently used reference list above also are no longer included below.

The format of the book (hardcover or paperback) and the edition will affect the publication information and ISBN. ISBNs have been converted to ISBN-13. The titles on the short list of general or reference books above are also now on the separate sub-page noted above.
