Obscure Military Documents of the Confederacy Charles Lemons

At the end of the American Civil War the Federal government gathered up as many Confederate records as they could find. Many were used in the creation of that great reference work "The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion" which was published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book is the first of many to publish many of the less significant, but still important documents which were filed away in the individual records of some Confederate Officers. Most have never been published. I transcribed the records for readability, keeping to the spirit of the originals and added a glossary of the specific contents.
