Confederate States Paper Money
by Arlie R. Slabaugh



Diary from Dixie
by Mary Boykin Miller Chesnut, et al

Probably the best and best known work on daily life in the Confederacy among high society. Mary knows the President and his wife, most of the Cabinet, and all the major players of the High Command. She is present for and describes the  birth of the Confederacy in Montgomery Alabama, the shelling of Fort Sumter in Charlestown, S. C., and the daily comings and goings of the most notable dignitaries in Richmond, Virginia. She has an uncanny knack for being where the action is and gives us her honest appraisal of the tumultuous events in her remarkable world. A must have for any serious student of the war.


The Memoirs of Colonel John Singleton Mosby
By Colonel John S. Mosby,  James O. Tate

The legendary Gray Ghost of the Confederacy in his own words. Mosby writes as well as he fought. This is a must have for anyone seeking to understand this brilliant and enigmatic Partisan Ranger and the operations of the 43rd Battalion Va. Cavalry. Very affordably priced.



Lee's Lieutenants: A Study In Command
by Douglas Southall Freeman, Stephen W. Sears

The Classic now in a brilliantly abridged one volume edition by noted Civil War writer and scholar, Stephen W. Sears.

Complimentary Listing

This listing is NOT in association with Amazon.Com® or The Confederate Site Of America Online Bookstore. We receive nor will we accept any renumeration for this book listing.  It is privately published and only available at The Taliaferro Family Website. It is listed here because I believe it is an important and interesting genealogy of one of America's oldest families. It is my desire to make the availability of this book more widely known. Civil War and Confederate buff's should take note that the Taliaferro family are direct decedents of General William B. Taliaferro CSA, and that the General is featured in the book. The Taliaferro family has a complete description of the book at their interesting website so we will not describe it further here.
