contact: QTRMSTR SGT. Stuart E. Samsel
Contact at [email protected] I will attempt to edit and update this page weekly, and answer any email that I receive. Please put the term Marines in the subject line, as it is my habit not to open mail from unknown sources or subject lines. |

| Other outstanding sites and links are: (In the way of a disclaimer, this is just my personal opinion that these are outstanding sites. I have literally hundreds of them in my Favorites folders, but these are just some that I consistently visit in my quest to learn and understand this era of our nations history. If you know of some that you think I might find interesting, please e-mail me, as I would like to take a look). I will also be adding links as we go, so please be patient. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| www.csnavy.org, which is home-ported out of Mobile, and will be of special interest if you had an ancestor that was in the Confederate Navy or Marines, as they are always looking for information about former CSN or CSMC personnel and commands. They are especially interested in burial locations, drawings, or photographs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| www.civilwar.org is the home page of the Civil War Preservation Trust, which works to preserve our nations heritage by preserving Civil War sites and battlefields. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| www.cwc.lsu.edu/ is an outstanding site for anyone who is interested in doing research or is just interested in learning more about the Civil War. A truly outstanding site with thousands of potential links. Another great site for research, especially if your interest is first person accounts, is at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's Documenting the American South at/docsouth.unc.edu/index.html> | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| www.itd.nps.gov/cwss is a site dedicated to Civil War Soldiers and Sailors, plus there are numerous links to their battlefield sites. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This page is my first attempt at putting something on the Internet, and I will attempt to update the page and read any email that you send me at least once per week. I have an open mind, however, I do not support any political causes or stands, and I do not appreciate foul language (as Mr. Edwin Newman once said, to paraphrase one of my favorite lines...';foul language is a linguistic crutch of an ignorant person who is too lazy to think of anything better to say." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks for looking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
