PARTIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE CIVIL WAR AND CIVIL WAR VETERANS’ ACTIVITIES IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES Compiled by David A. Davis, PCC Camp Historian/Civil War Memorials Officer General William Passmore Carlin Camp 25 Department Historian Department of California and Pacific Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War This list was started from a small number of books on the Civil War in the western United States collected by the compiler and then added to from an occasional search of library catalogs and websites. It also includes references on the Grand Army of the Republic (G. A. R.) and its allied orders. Each book has at least a passing reference to the Civil War and/or the G. A. R. This list is only a small part of the likely thousands of such publications out there, and is intended to cover the areas of the present states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. This list is a work in progress and will be added to, corrected, and updated as time permits. If anyone sends me a reference, I will add it to the list. A number of these publications are available as E- books on Google Books. Updated as of January 21, 2013. All Quiet on Yamill Hill: the Civil War in Oregon. The Journal of Corporal Royal A.
