Just as the University of North Carolina did, Fordham University has made two dozen of its Civil War and Reconstruction Era history books available for free download or reading online through Project Muse. Christian Keller’s book Chancellorsville and the Germans is a particular gem. Just click on the title of the book and the link will take you to the free book.
If you have never downloaded from Project Muse, I provide an easy explanation of how to do so at the bottom of this list.

Using the Free Books:
If you follow the links to the free books you will see something like this:
Beneath the description of the book you will see “Table of Contents.”
Each chapter is a separate download. You click on the download and you can read the chapter online. You can also save the download onto your device. Ignore the “Save” button on the Project Muse page, though, it saves the chapter to your Muse cloud, which you probably don’t have.
Good luck and I will be back with more free books tomorrow.
