The Brandy Station Project

This site is my humble attempt to provide historians, researchers and Civil War buffs with a definitive guide to the resources available on the internet and in the archives of various research libraries across the nation, and resources that can be found in various bookstores. Overall it should provide you a good starting place for any research about the battle and its participants.

Specialized web sites:

www.civilwarcavalry.com

Civilwarcavalry.com is Eric Wittenberg's website. He's now the owner of the most extensive web account of the battle.

The Gettysburg Discussion Group is also a good place to learn about the battle of Brandy Station and its place in the entire Gettysburg Campaign. Most of the work here has been done by Eric J. Wittenberg, who's working on what will probably become the definitive biography of John Buford.
