User:Donner60/American Civil War bibliography from Internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

User:Donner60 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 Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user to whom this page belongs may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself.

This page contains a bibliography of American Civil War books, mostly older books, and some journal or magazine articles downloaded from the Internet and, in many cases, stored on my computer in pdf format. A short section contains information about several old books retrieved from the Internet which might be cited in articles with some frequency as they are mostly references. I have downloaded the titles and they are repeated in the longer section of titles of books on my computer. These titles are (or should be) in proper form for citation in Wikipedia articles.

Until February 23, 2014, I had one increasingly large page entitled "ACW References." It was becoming too long so I created an additional page entitled "American Civil War bibliography" for a list of the books that I own. These also are in proper format for citation in articles.

I include on this page a section on articles taken from encyclopedias, compendiums or anthologies that I own and that I have used in American Civil War articles (provided I remembered to include them) because this page is shorter than the bibliography page. I also have a section for titles of modern books with internet previews that I do not own but have used for citations (again provided I have remembered to include them).

Wikipedia's manual of style and formatting guidelines require only that certain information be included in a reference. More than one style or format is permissible. In the absence of a further requirement, I will use the allowable Chicago Manual of Style format as adopted by Hal Jespersen User:Hlj as in line with the Wikipedia guidelines. I agree with Hal that they are easier to work with, understand, and edit when placed in this form in the underlying source page for an article.

After my short list of books likely to be frequently cited, I repeat that list in the alternate Wikipedia style for use in any articles in which that style might be preferred due to existing citations in that form.

Thanks to Hal Jespersen User:Hlj for his American Civil War bibliography and his publication of it on his user pages for open use. I started this list with his formatting for all of the books that we both own. I noted those books with an additional symbol but decided with my revision of June 18, 2013 to remove the notations. They are unlikely to be of interest to anyone but me and the additional mark must be deleted each time I use the entry for a book from this list for an article.

This list is incomplete. I probably will only add entries when I use them for edits because I will need to add web page links. It would take more time than I am likely to want to spend in order to add all of the remaining titles. Last addition or update: February 23, 2014.

Books downloaded from the internet

[edit]

I have quite a few books downloaded from the internet because I have found it easier to bring up or refer to the book in pdf form on my computer than to retrieve it from the internet each time I wish to find sources or look at a specific book as a possible source. These are books published before 1923, free from copyright and easily found, usually on google books or possibly the internet archive. This list is incomplete. If I have not downloaded a book from Hal Jespersen's list or used a downloaded book for reference in an article (or if I have not thought to include it), I may not yet have put it on this list.

I have made a few exceptions to the practice of downloading an entire book in pdf format for a few titles which seem to have a narrow focus or may not be generally useful in more than one article. In such cases I may have printed the title page and a few other pages for reference or may have incorporated the information directly into a draft of an article while I had the reference on the screen.

Since I did not note my original retrieval date of these books, I have often checked a text's availability on line again when I added it to this list and used that later date as the retrieval date. I likely will add dates as I think to do so in order to avoid retrieving the title each time I use it simply to add a retrieval date. The titles from the short list above are repeated below. The list in this section may include some titles published after 1923 if a preview or excerpt is available on the internet and I cited the book in an article, although I have tried to put those citations into a separate section.
