, n.d. Web. 27 Nov. 2012. <http://military.discovery.com/videos/assignment-discovery-civil-war-soldierslife.html>. This provided insight into the life of a soldier, discussing meals that they ate (such as the cornmeal and bacon used in a journal entry), the rampant disease in the camps, and games played by soldiers. The video, presumably a clip from a television show featured on the channel, had information I incorporated as personal details of my soldier's experience.

Web. 1 Dec. 2012. <http://www.history.com/topics/civil-war-culture>. The history channel is a reputable source and it had plenty of information on the Civil War. It discussed a lot about the general culture of the war. Unlike the other websites I used, this provided videos and pictures that really helped provide context. Faulk, William.

Although William Larkin Faulk's journal was posted on several websites relating to the Civil War, I used this source because it provided annotations that clarified certain names mentioned and what happened to those people later on. It was my most valuable source and the most reputable, having been written by the Captain of my soldier's infantry. It detailed the names of the

soldiers wounded, what day they fought, and when the fighting was heaviest. It specifically mentioned the death of my soldier. Giambrone, Jeff.

This was a blog purely about Mississippi Confederates run by an author of three Civil War-related books and a contributor to a Civil War magazine. It discusses in detail the specific movements of each regiment, the names of the leaders involved, and the various attacks and casualties involved. Heiser, John. "Soldier Life in the Civil War." Civil War. N.p., 1 May 1998. Web. 26 Nov. 2012. <http://www.civilwar.com/overview/soldier-life.html>. This provided information about the everyday life of a Civil War soldier, including what they did in their leisure time, the names of specific songs enjoyed by Confederate soldiers, and habits such as trading tobacco for luxuries like coffee.

information about his company, that they were originally called the Van Dorn Guards, where they were originally based (Claiborne County, MS) and gave me a better idea of where he was from. It also provided information on movements of different brigades and their leaders. "NPS- Confederate Interments- R." National Park Service. N.p., n.d. Web. 8 Nov. 2012. < http://www.nps.gov/vick/historyculture/confederate-interments-r.htm >. This provided information about the soldier including name, date of death, rank, unit, company, the hospital they were sent to, the cemetery they were in, and comments (when he was mortally wounded). I originally had great difficulty finding the soldier's records due to a misspelling of his name. On his gravestone, it was 'Richey', but in all of his records his name was spelled Ritchey. This information was all provided by the National Park Service. Orgeron, Brian. "38th Mississippi Infantry Home Page." 38th Mississippi Infantry Home Page. N.p., n.d.
