About American Civil War Battle Summaries

Excerpted from: Ancestry.com

Historical Data Systems has compiled and linked a wide array of record types including state rosters, pension records, regimental histories, photos, and journals. The genealogical value of this record is immeasurable. More than authoritative names and dates, this database connects researchers with the history their ancestors lived.

The collection is divided into four sections, soldier records, regiment records, battle histories, and officer records. This section of the database contains short histories for some of the most important battles in the American Civil War.
