Volume IV: Compiled and revised by Silas Felton. 1063 pp., revised with books missed in vols. I,II, and III, regimental publications, personal narratives, biographies, campaigns and battles, Northern and Southern. Charles Dornbusch (1917-1990) was the Vedder Research Library's first librarian and the moving force behind its official creation. A man of countless unique talents and interests, he has been described as a librarian, bibliographer, writer, publisher, bookseller, antiques collector, and member of numerous learned societies. Born and raised in New York City, Mr. Dornbusch attended night school to attain his college education - at the same time working at the New York Public Library where he quickly became full-time staff. He ended up staying at the New York Public Library the entire 38 years of his career. In 1963 Charles moved to Cornwallville, NY where the farm on Strong Road became his permanent residence and the base for many of his future endeavors. . Hope Farm Press was Mr. Dornbusch's other great achievement. He ran a small book and print shop from his home in Cornwallville during the 1960s, 70s and 80s, printing works which he had authored himself as well as various local history selections of a significant nature. Hope Farm Press in this way became responsible for the distribution of many important and otherwise out-of-print histories related to Greene County and the surrounding region, and many publications from Hope Farm Press are featured on the Vedder Library's shelves. Mr. Dornbusch went on to further achievement pursuing his other passion: Military History. He had served as a Staff Sergeant during World War II with the 409th Infantry Regiment in Europe, although his interest in the field may have predated his service. In his later years, Mr. Dornbusch went on to write an authoritative bibliography on the American Civil War, as well as numerous unit histories focusing the Armed Forces of the United States and the Canadian Military in both the 19th and 20th centuries. He was genuinely prolific and several of his works remain highly regarded among scholars today. This revision is an attempt first to, as completely as possible, to add the Civil War works published since Volume IV was published in 1987 and to add some of the titles missed in the earlier editions. All materials from the original Volume IV is included, although renumbered. of necessity, to accommodate the added materials. To avoid confusions between numbering on previous volumes, the numbering in this revision starts with 4001. Unlike the traditional bibliography done in the library collections of selected libraries, this revision of the Military Bibliography of the Civil War was compiled using mostly on-line catalogs. The primary reference collections used were The University of Wisconsin, Madison (MADCAT) which includes the fine collection of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin (Established by the Wisconsin GAR and aggressively maintained and updated) and the Library of Congress. Used also, but to a lesser extent, were the libraries of Penn State University, The Pennsylvania State library and archives, Chicago public library, New York public library, the library of the Military History Institute (Carlisle, PA.) and numerous other state and university libraries. Because of the vast amount of Civil War material added since Volume IV was originally published, this update/revision includes only works that can be classified as books or pamphlets. The volume of magazine and journal articles is too overwhelming to attempt here. The format follows the original three Dornbusch volumes. In the general reference added are sections for Cartography, Causes, Home From and Women. In Armed Forces added are sections on Leadership, and Strategy and Tactics. There is a short section at the end of the state units for the Confederal Regular Army also. A major change is a rearrangement of the Virginia artillery units. Because many of the units carried two or more designations based on place of recruitment, and names of commanders, the nomenclature from the Guide to Virginia Military Organizations has been used, with cross-referenced alternatives. Also, for this volume only, titles are indexed as well as authors. There is some carry-over back into Volumes I, II, and III only if there is a reprint in Volume IV. Revised Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus. Seller Inventory # 87979
