Hello,
Some may remember me some may not. I did living history with the 33rd years ago. I am thinking about getting back into Civil War and also now do 1830s civilian and army. I am weeding out some of my old gear and a bunch of my books to make room on my shelf and to raise some money to buy more stuff. All of the books are in good to very good shape, some only read once, others are first editions from the 1960s and show some wear but all are in good + condition.

If you are interested in any of the items please contact me off-line via e-mail
pkshrake@charter.net
or by phone- 608-355-9884

All prices are firm but I am willing to cut deals for bulk purchases. Price does not include shipping.
