Database of Illinois Civil War Veterans
- This database of Illinois Civil War Veterans indexes the first eight volumes of the nine volume
publication, Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois. (The ninth volume lists
veterans of Black Hawk, Mexican, and Spanish-American Wars.) This 1900-1901 publication, originating
from the rosters maintained during the Civil War by the Illinois Adjutant General, is the result of
an 1899 Illinois statute mandating that a corrected version of these records and subsequent
publications be printed. The names of approximately 250,000 men, organized into 175 regiments, are
found in its pages. The work includes a roster and history for each regiment

Civil War Battle Summaries
- The Civil War Sites Advisory Commission was established by public law on
November 28, 1990, because of national concern over the increasing loss of
Civil War sites. The 15-member Commission, appointed by Congress and by the
Secretary of the Interior, was asked to identify the nation’s historically
significant Civil War sites; determine their relative importance; determine
their condition; assess threats to their integrity; and recommend
alternatives for preserving and interpreting them. The Report on the
Nation’s Civil War Battlefields presents the Commission's findings
