Footnote Launches Civil War Microsite With New Content

 Who doesn't like free stuff? I received the following announcement from Footnote.com in this morning's email inbox:

The Civil War forever changed the United States and left a wide range of valuable records for historians, genealogists and other researchers. To help you find what you are looking for, or discover something unexpected, we have a new Civil War area of the site that makes it easier to view, search and browse our Civil War collection.

Come see what you can find and discover the Civil War through the eyes of those who lived it. Click here to view the Civil War website.

What's New?

We have also been updating our collections and adding new Civil War titles to the site:

• New - Civil War Maps - 1,600 maps from the Library of Congress
• New - Civil War Subversion Investigations - Case files relating to the arrest, parole, and release of suspects
• Updated - Union Soldier Service Records: TN, DE, NC, MD, WV, LA, Colored Troops
• Updated - Civil War Pension Files

Do you have friends or family with an interest in the Civil War or the people who fought it? During the month of June all the Civil War documents will be free to the public. You can share this free access to millions of Civil War records found nowhere else on the web clicking the Share link.

That's right, all Civil War documents will be FREE for the month of June (or what's left of it)! I'm still up to my eyeballs in Civil War research as I finish my final ProGen assignment, so if I wasn't already a Footnote.com subscriber I would be all over this offer.

Give it a try and see what you think.
