The Cornell Making of America site is an ambitious project with a lot of useful books, particularly for Upstate New York. However, they are rather difficult to navigate and slow to download, even on the high-speed Internet access that I have at work. The books below are transcribed in a fully searchable format on "The Civil War CD-ROM" from Guild Press of Indiana (list price about $70). It also includes a few other works like Dyer's "Compendium". Many libraries probably have the CD-ROM, the head librarian of the local library in Brockport NY showed me theirs when I was there recently. The books below are extremely useful historically but very few enlisted men are mentioned by name. For those looking for soldiers in Wayne Co., check "The Military History of Wayne County, New York" by Lewis Clark on the MOA site below. It has a lot of errors but is still very useful. I found two Civil War ancestors and one War of 1812 ancestor in it plus several other relatives. It is also available on microfilm, I first found it in a library in Houston. There is no index. -----Original Message----- From: ~Karen E~ [mailto:KARENE1@webtv.net] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 1999 1:32 PM To: NY-Military-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Civil War online I saw this on the Broome County list and didn't see this posted on this list. ~~~~~~ Cornell University has put the ENTIRE "War of the Rebellion" on the internet!!! Over 60 volumes!!! It includes scanned images of reports, correspondence, seizures of Southern property, etc. sent to the War Dept. during the Civil War. It includes both Union and Confederate accounts. It is in chronological order but there is no online index. Many libraries have the index. Find the volume and page number for your subject in the index at the library. Go to this website http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/MOA/MOA-JOURNALS2/WARO.html and you're in business. ~~~~~~~ Karen Eddy in CT proud descendant of John FISK of Otsego County, NY, POW in the War of 1812
