I usually read two widely available magazines, which are: Civil War Times and America's Civil War. I also had a subscription to The Confederate Vereran magazine for over 18 years, which I no longer have now. Other than that, that's pretty much it.
I also belong to 'The Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation' and 'The Civil War Preservation Trust', which sends me a magazine about 4 times a year called 'Hallowed Ground'.

With respect,
SgtCSA

North and South, and Gettysburg Magazine, have every issue of both. Considering a sub to Civil War Historian, and will pick up others, especially Blue and Gray, "If" they have
articles or a special edition on something I'm very interested in.

Default Here you go

Civil War Historian (if you have not seen this, shame on you)

http://www.civilwarhistorian.com/

North-South Traders Civil War - Best mag on artifacts there is.

http://www.nstcivilwar.com/

CCG - Dead on arrival
CWT - Mostly conservation and I belong to CWPT and the CVBT
North & South - Poorly researched
Civil War Times - Superficial studies, very little source research
Blue & Gray - Used to subscribe, dropped for CWH

I used to really enjoy the Thomas Press' Regimental History Series. Shame they folded.

We both get the Skirmish Line, but you only get that if you are a member of the N-SSA

and when I renew the subscription, we get the Civil War News

The only one Zou takes now is The Civil War News... too much the same stuff in most of the nationwide newsstand magazines, and most of that much too "Rebby."

Ringo, not accepting the shame, I have never heard of Civil War Historian. But now that I have, I'm gonna subscribe!
