CIVIL WAR PERIODICALS COLLECTION
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
The Civil War Periodical Collection was accessioned into the Flesh Public Library Archives and Special Collections on 30 December 2005. The collection was a donation by Dr. and Mrs. James Alley. The collection consists of 152 issues of Confederate Veteran magazine, 75 Civil War History journals, 124 books in the series War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies and 31 books in the series Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion. The collection also contains four books of Civil War maps and 20 Civil War map folios. The collection is housed in eight acid free boxes. The two series of army and navy records have been cataloged into the Local History Collection and are shelved in the Local History Department.
The army records are not a complete set. The following are not part of the collection: Volume 7, Volume 10 Part 1, Volume 11 Part 2, Volume 12 Part 1, Volume 21 all parts and Volume 27 all parts. The navy records are complete.
Dr. Alley was retired from the public schools. In retirement he supplemented his income by purchasing large and small collections of books and magazines from estates, libraries, and other sources. These he in turn resold on e-bay and other auction sites. Those items that did not sell he donated to the library. This collection is the result of such a donation. It is a valuable tool for the Civil War historian and for the genealogist researching a family member and their actions during the Civil War.
There are no known restrictions on the use of these materials.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The collection is divided into the following four series:
SERIES I: Confederate Veteran. Published Monthly in the Interest of Confederate Veterans and Kindred Topics, published in Nashville, Tennessee. Price ten cents per issue or one dollar per year. S.A. Cunningham, proprietor and founder. 1894-1932
SERIES II: Civil War History, A Quarterly Journal of Studies in Civil War History. Published by the University of Iowa [State University of Iowa], Iowa City, Iowa.
