Confederate Centennial Studies

If you're a frequent browser of eBay offerings, one thing you'll come to expect is a steady appearance of titles from the Confederate Centennial Studies series. Oddly enough I never see them in brick and mortar bookstores, but that could just be a regional thing. The brainchild of William Stanley Hoole, the Confederate Centennial Studies series was published by (Hoole's?) Confederate Publishing Company out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Volumes were steadily released over a decade-long period preceding the end of the Civil War Centennial. The series was reprinted in a limited edition of 750 sets by Broadfoot in 2000, and these must be the ones I most frequently see for sale online. I don't know how many first edition sets were produced.

Below are the 28 titles in no particular order, just a list I found online. Oddly, the Broadfoot set has 28 volumes while Eicher's reference lists only 27 in the first run. I don't know if the latter was a mistake or if Broadfoot added one to the original contingent. If interested you can compare the two lists (this one and the linked one) yourself to find the outlier. It's a pretty impressive range of topics and book categories.
