These are a few of the many sites available dealing with the American Civil War/War of the Rebellion/War of Northern Aggression. I find these particularly useful and interesting. I have in no way attempted to list all of the sites available and apologize to anyone who I have not included. These are the ones I spend most time looking through.

Interesting Links

Shotgun’s Home of the American Civil War. Possibly the most comprehensive site available for information about the War Between the States. Covers literally all aspects.

http://www.civilwarhome.com/index.htm

The Authentic Campaigner Website. An authentic/progressive oriented reenactors page. Lots of great information, contacts, tips and discussion forums, as well as for sale, etc.

The Military Warehouse. Jim Kindred’s site offering a variety of reproduction buttons, buckles, plates and misc. Wholesale to dealers, suttlers, business concerns only.

The United States Civil War Center, Louisiana State University. A good site for general info (lots of it).

The Camp Chase Gazette. An on-line and subscription periodical devoted to Civil War reenacting and history.

County Cloth, Inc. Chas. Childs excellent site detailing his excellent products of reproduction period fabrics, patterns, garments and kits. Excellent woolen, jeans cloth and cotton fabrics as well as patterns that are the standard for reenactors.

Family Heirloom Weavers. Unfortunately business decisions on the part of the owner have made it necessary to limit CW period fabric production and wholesale what is produced in 100 yd increments. Once a fantastic source for a huge variety of fabrics and great remnant sale goods is no more. C. Daley and other vendors purportedly to carry fabric as available. Link left for posterity sake as Pat & Kelly Kline are such great folks and have treated everyone dso wonderfully over the years. They are greatly missed in the reenactment community.

Tart, Brantley and Benjamin Historical Reproductions. Ben Tart’s site displaying his company’s offerings of naturally dyed (and not naturally dyed) jeans cloth, as well as lining fabrics, buttons, complete garments and kits. Naturally dyed products are dyed using period recipes and period methods (vat dyed). Finished fabric fades when exposed to elements. Ditto as far as excellent site and excellent products.

Stony Brook Co. Chris Sullivan’s site. This firm offers Union issue pants primarily, but I have included it here because of the Woolrich wool fabric selection offered on page six of this site. Woolrich is not 100% wool and, having some synthetics in it, will offend some purists. Chris has an excellent explanation of why he uses this fabric in his products. Woolrich sells directly to the public but the minimum order is about fifteen yards I believe. Chris offers by the yard for those who prefer wool or a broadcloth substitute for a fraction of the price. There…that should offend someone, I am sure.

James Country Mercantile. James Country is a general suttler supplier that is the source for Homespun Patterns (once was The Great American Pattern Co.). Another great source for period patterns for Civil War garments, as well as a variety of other items. Patterns make into a very nice period garment.

C.J. Daley Historical Reproductions. Christopher Daley’s site deals with completed garments (mainly U.S. issue, but some C.S. as well). Chris holds seminars, workshops, and online discussions and will reply to any question regarding period garment construction, etc. Wonderful gent and a wealth of knowledge, not to mention one of the top tailors producing period garments. Very top notch.
