"The Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission had as one its major projects the selection and preservation of manuscripts pertaining to Indiana and the Civil War. During the Civil War period, 1861-1865, over 16,000 pages of manuscript material were placed in permanent deposits. This book, Guide to Indiana Civil War Manuscripts, was developed to make material and other manuscript collections in the state useful to students of history"--Verso.
