"Civil War Artifacts - A Guide For The Historian"
by Howard R. Crouch - 6th Edition
Brand New and Signed by the
Author
This book is a comprehensive collection of photographs and captions of
excavated Civil War relics and is absolutely essential for any collector or
enthusiast. Originally published in 1995 with 238 pages covering nearly
everything a Civil War relic hunter/collector could expect to find from
buttons, bullets, bottles, swords, buckles, plates, guns, badges, uniform
items, canteens, horse equipment, stencils, camp items etc..... it still
remains today an extremely useful tool in identifying those relics recovered
from the backyards, trails, farm fields, woodlands, and most anywhere the
Civil War took place. Click on the thumbnail image to the left to see a
small sampling of some of the pages. While this magnificent book
doesn't cover every relic associated with the Civil War, it does provide a
broad look at what a relic hunter/collector might bring home after a day of
hunting. The best part of this book for me is the fact that with its shear
volume of items, I can never manage to see everything in it. Each time I
pick it up, to either ID an item that I am researching or just to thumb
through, my attention will inevitably be drawn to yet another relic that I
failed to see during a previous reading. I will then spend another
half hour pondering that piece forgetting about what I was originally
looking for! What I am offering is a hard bound copy which is brand new and
is personally signed by Howard Crouch. It measures approximately 8 3/4 x
11 1/4 inches and has 238 pages with photographs and captions on nearly
every page. $49.50
