Our Magazine
Welcome to the award-winning North South Trader's Civil War magazine. Since 1973 we have been dedicated to celebrating the Civil War artifact as a document of history. We have published well over 1,000 articles focusing on every type of relic that exists, from minie balls to gunboats. The artifact is our niche, and whether brought home as a war trophy by a veteran, preserved by descendants, stored in a museum, or excavated from the soil, all have a place within our pages.
We have been active in historic preservation since our first issue and we are proud of the fact that we were the first Civil War collector's magazine to publicize the fight against rampant development of the primary relic: the battlefield. Please join us as we continue to investigate Civil War history through the untold stories of its relics.
