Confederate Centennial Studies
Originally published October 2023 · pp. 22–23
Confederate Centennial Studies Preparing for the Civil War centennial, Dr. William Stanley Hoole, a distinguished historian, and educator, accepted the position as series editor for a planned set of books focusing on Confederate topics from the American Civil War. The first volume, in what would eventually result in a series of 28 narratives, appeared in 1956. Subsequent books released throughout the centennial years, 1961-65, and the final volume, 28, a fitting tribute to Hoole, rolled off the press in 2001. The Confederate Publishing Company in Tuscaloosa, Ala., printed the first 27 volumes. Broadfoot Publishing reprinted the set in 2000 and the Hoole narrative in 2001. Lending their respective writing and editorial skills to the project, various historians contributed to the series. Many of these works contain primary source material—letter excerpts, journals, diaries, etc.—and each volume provides illustrations, images, citations, a bibliography, and an index. Researchers should check https://www.worldcat.org/ title/742236166 to locate this set in a local library. Several websites offer the collection for purchase, along with the availability of select titles from the series. A complete listing of the Centennial Studies appears on the next page.
