Here are some of our favorite Civil War links:

One of the best, most complete sites on the Civil War:

The home of the United States Army Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Carlisle, PA is a wonderful place to do research, and full of history about itself as well.  Carlisle Barracks carries with it the flavor of an "old Army post".  It is, perhaps, the oldest U.S. Army post in the world, having its roots prior to the US Revolution as a frontier outpost established in 1757.  It is also home to the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, the U.S. Army Museum, and the U.S. Army War College:
