This is a partial list of books used as general reference for this site; it is updated as time permits. Web sites used for reference are listed at the bottom of the page specific to their use and on the links page. The ever changing nature of a website I suppose means this page will never be done. That’s a good thing, right?

I use Wikipedia to locate things like dates, names and correct spelling.

I also refrence the pamphlets, handouts and information signs from the sites and battlefields themselves. I’m not sure how to list them though, any suggestions? Contact Me
