This is the most comprehensive compilation of West Virginia soldiers in the Revolution and other wars, containing rosters and, in many cases, service records of thousands of soldiers, with narratives on the various wars. The rosters and rolls, here collected for the first time, are drawn from both published and unpublished sources, the original records being in many cases in the Department of Archives and History of the State of West Virginia.

Based on an exhaustive search of various sources, this book provides a comprehensive roster of all known Confederate soldiers, sailors and marines from Rockbridge County, Virginia, or those who served in units raised in the County. Washington College and Virginia Military Institute alumni who were from Rockbridge, enlisted in local companies or lived in the County before or after the war are also included. Complete service records are given, along with photographs where possible.
Following the passage of the Confederate Ordinance of Secession in April 1861, pro-Union Virginians met in Wheeling and began the process that would lead to the formation of West Virginia as a separate state. Despite the new state's allegiance to the North, the population of West Virginia remained divided in its loyalties, as author John W. Shaffer has described in his other book, "Barbour County, A Clash of Loyalties: A Border County in the Civil War." In his latest effort, "Union and Confederate Soldiers and Sympathizers," Mr. Shaffer enumerates over 1,000 individuals who comprised the fractious community of Barbour County. Using official military records, the 1860 U.S. federal census, and a variety of other primary and secondary sources, the author lists 718 Union and 528 Confederate soldiers and sympathizers from Barbour County. These individuals are arranged by army and thereunder alphabetically. For each we learn the military unit (except for sympathizers), dates of service, duties, date of birth, names of parents, postwar occupation and other activities, and date of death. Mr. Shaffer's Introduction describes the background of the Civil War in Barbour County, while the Appendices specify the Union and Confederate units and military engagements in which Barbour citizens fought.
Like its predecessor, this second volume of the West Virginia Civil War Almanac by Tim McKinney adds substantially to information in print regarding West Virginia Civil War veterans, and constitutes a highly informative tool for historians, Civil War enthusiasts, and genealogists. It consists of nine parts. Part One provides a roster of 31,519 Union soldiers from West Virginia. Part Two is an index to 12,683 Union veterans listed in the 1890 Civil War Veteran Census and published in volume one of this series. Part Three lists Civil War veterans and their widows. Part Four contains the names of deceased United States veterans in the 1890 Census. Part Five provides names of deceased Confederate veterans. Part Six indexes black troops credited to West Virginia. Part Seven focuses on distribution of the state's Civil War veterans with respect to their counties of residence. Part Eight gives a Statistical Review of the 1890 Civil War Veteran Census of West Virginia. Part Nine includes Addenda to Volume One. In five earlier works on the Civil War, including Robert E. Lee at Sewell Mountain: The West Virginia campaign, McKinney has established himself as a careful craftsman in historical matters and a perceptive student of the war during which West Virginia was born. McKinney's West Virginia Civil War Almanac will place all persons with a serious interest in the Civil War in debt to him for making valuable source materials available in a convenient, attractive, and affordable format. by Otis K. Rice, Professor Emeritus of History, West Virginia University Institute of Technology
