1. Every Day of the Civil War: A Chronological Encyclopedia
by Bud Hannings (McFarland, 2010).At over 600 small print, triple-columned pages, this day-by-day military (army and navy) account of the war is massive. Based primarily on official records, it describes as many battles and skirmishes as possible, as well as general officer activities (e.g. appointments, promotions, sackings, etc.). Political events, however, are not a focus of the work.
2. Civil War Justice in Southeast Missouri by Bob Schmidt (Camp Pope Publishing, 2010).
