During the Civil War, some 5000 Union Army soldiers filled the ranks of the Iron Brigade: the Second, Sixth, and Seventh Wisconsin, the Nineteenth Indiana, and the Twenty-Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry regiments. The regimental flags were a tangible symbol of the Union and were always in the forefront of battle, proudly displayed and tenaciously defended. Many men died to keep their flags aloft. This is the story of how the flags of the Iron Brigade came into being and the purposes they served both during and after the war. Distributed for the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.

American Flag Two Centuries of Concord and Conflict

A history and description of the infantry small arms manufactured in, by, and for the Southern Confederacy between 1861 and 1865. 
This volume is the culmination of many years of exhaustive research into long-forgotten records, as well as examination of the "long" longarms that were produced in the South for Confederate forces during the Civil War. Many of these arms are herein correctly identified for the first time. 
The time in which Confederate arms were used, the crisis that necessitated their making, and the uses to which they were put have long intrigued arms collectors and researchers. "Confederate Rifles &amp; Muskets" puts those arms in their proper perspective as valuable historic and cultural relics of a brave people, and of the romantic era in which they fought a valiant but vain struggle.
