The following list of American Civil War books contains some of the books in my library. First, I moved User:Donner60/American Civil War bibliography to User:Donner60/American Civil War Library as a better identification. That page, a full list of my books about the American Civil War in alphabetical order by author's last name was becoming too long to save easily. So I created User:Donner60/American Civil War Library References, General Topics and this page to split off some of the topics so all the pages will save more easily. I tried to keep only one entry for each book even though some could fit into several topics. I may have left one or a very few in two sections, especially if they are on different pages. The divisions into topic sections should make titles easier to find and help my research.

I also have an incomplete list of mostly out of copyright books and some magazine articles that I have downloaded at User:Donner60/American Civil War bibliography from Internet.

I have sections below the sections on various topics that have in Wikipedia template style certain of the reference or general overview works that may be frequently cited for ready use. Most articles on the American Civil War use the Chicago Manual of Style format, mainly thanks to Hal Jespersen, User:Hlj, no longer an active user. His publication of his American Civil War bibliography on his user pages gave me the idea to put my books on a user sub-page for ready reference in a proper format. I also use his templates below for examples of articles from journals, magazines or books.

"While citations should aim to provide the information listed above, Wikipedia does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style. A number of citation styles exist including those described in the Wikipedia articles for Citation, APA style, ASA style, MLA style, The Chicago Manual of Style, Author–date referencing, Vancouver system and Bluebook." Wikipedia:Citing sources. July 17, 2016. I use the Chicago Manual of Style format. It is easier to understand and edit. It can have one or two more pieces of information. ISBNs are checked automatically by the Wikipedia template, and that is the only advantage in its use of which I am aware. In 2018, "magic links" have been deprecated and the advantage of automatically checked ISBNs can be attained by using the correct format for ISBNs and still use the Chicago Manual of Style format. Wikipedia:Book sources and Help:ISBN are pertinent Wikipedia pages. Having the titles in citation form helps to include references in articles more quickly and accurately.

My old ACW References page now lists only citations and quotes and general facts for American Civil War articles in various categories. It is, even in 2020, at a beginning stage. Therefore, it is quite incomplete and is not near the general resource I had planned. I have not added to it for a long time but perhaps I will do so in the future for quick citations for new articles or articles needing citations for those facts. In addition to general facts, the page does have a long section with citations and quotations from reliable sources concerning the Battle of Palmito Ranch as the last battle of the American Civil War.
