This Catalogue is a guide to the sites from Maine to Virginia to California and Arizona where you can see places connected to the Civil War and Reconstruction. I intend to post another site every week as long as New York State DMV does not take my license away! These are sites that occupy city streets, county squares, and grave yards, sometimes far from battlefields, where you can encounter the memories of those left behind by the conflict.
If you know of any sites you would like me to visit, let me know on The Reconstruction Facebook Page. Also, if you want to see this catalogue on Google Earth, go HERE.
