I am selling off my Civil War and military book collection in which I have a large number of older and rare histories, including a number of regimental histories.  I will combine shipping but due to the number of volumes the sale may take quite some time.  I have both Union and Confederate histories.  Also some reunion ribbons, photos, cdvs.  My collection spans over 50 years of collecting, now have moved into a smaller home and do not have the room.  Please follow my auctions for more books in your interest. If there is anything specific you are looking for please send me a message.  Also please note that eBay is very politically correct and does not like to have a book listed that has the Confederate flag so you might see some of my listings with something hiding the flag which may appear on the cover or the dust jacket.
