Digitized Histories and Memoirs of the 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment

While searching the Internet for information on the 15th Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment, I ran across two compiled bibliographies.  The first, found in the e-history archive at the Ohio State University, lists eleven books and scholarly articles on the history of the 15th Alabama Regiment. The second, compiled by a man named Dr. Ken Jones for his Civil War Pages site, lists fifteen sources. Most, but not all, sources are listed on both pages.

It turns out that a number of these sources have been digitized and made available on line. This blog post lists those I have been able to find so far. Citations and links are included and some have already been OCR'ed. I have OCR'ed the rest for my files using the ABBYY FineReader engine included with Devonthink Office Pro.

Web sites from which these digitized sources are found include:

• Alabama Dept of Archives and History Digital Collections
• Internet Archive
• Southern Historical Society Papers, Perseus Digital Library, Tufts University
