57.0. "CW Periodicals and Magazines" by TOPDOC::AHERN (Dennis the Menace) Tue Jan 07 1992 08:51

    I've seen some magazines that are devoted to the American Civil War. 
    Does anybody who subscribes have information on any of them?  I'm
    particularly interested in any that list calendar announcements of
    upcoming events.  I would like to send a brief calendar anouncement of
    our April Civil War encampent to any appropriate publication.

    	I know of two that are read by most of the Reenactor's locally,
    regionally, etc.
    
    			Camp Chase Gazette
    
    			The Civil War News
    
    	Both of these publications post local and national events.
    I don't have the addresses of them on hand right now, but, I can post
    them later. I suscribe to both of them. They are both sorta like a
    Reenactor's handbook for events. Bonus, they also have some excellent
    articles for readin' on these long winter nights.

    P.S. Need any Rebs for that encampment in Acton? I know of a few
    hanging around Massachusetts. We make great prisoners. :^) Besides it
    makes the event more colorful. :^)

    I have the address for The Civil War News.  What locale does the Camp
    Chase Gazette cover?

    Probably not, thanks.

    	What no Rebs needed! Who will tell the truth about the fight
    anywho! :^)  That's okay, post the dates, I always love to watch them
    boys in "blue" drill anyway, right Tom?  :^)

    	The Camp Chase Gazette covers events both small and large all over
    the country.
    	It would be worth the try, they have posted the June event at
    Edaville Railroad at Carver, Ma. So why not? It's read by reenactors
    and others from all the country.

    I am looking for the publication of the Civil War Society, called
    just "Civil War", particularly the March-April 1991 edition.
    
    Can anyone give me an address to write to?

    RE .4:
    
    "Civil War", the magazine of the Civil War Society, is published
    bi-monthly for $3.95 per single copy by Cool Spring Associates, Inc.,
    P.O. Box 770, Berryville, Virginia, 22611.  Subscriptions may be
    obtained by joining The Civil War Society (at the above address) for
    $39.00 per year.  Subscriptions without Society membership may be
    obtained for $19.97.
    
    That's from the Nov-Dec '91 issue, which I happened to get because it
    featured railroads in the war... :^)
    
    They don't mention back issue availability, but you can always write.
    
    Usual disclaimers apply.  The _one_ issue I have had some good stuff in
    it.
