In the unlikely event that you are not familiar with the Official Records (ORs), they consist mainly of battle reports and there are literally thousands of them. It would be a physical impossibility for me to put them all on the internet. Therefore, This site contains selected reports of the Commanders in the field for major battles of the American Civil War and selected events that I felt were significant. Just click on the event/battle you're interested in.
