This is a compilation of the iconic magazine, THE KEPI's third and fourth years of publication, from February 1985 through The Spring of 1986. Included for the first time is a complete index of all issues. The comprehensive Index will provide a valuable reference to both historical and genealogical researchers. Its title, THE KEPI, was chosen because the cap itself symbolizes the Civil War. Worn by both North and South, officers and privates, the kepi is a non-partisan capsulization of the War Between the States. This is exactly what we hope to achieve, an unbiased representation of the war years. Are you tired of reading boring recounts of well-known battles, or unenlightened biographies of great men? Have you been unable to substantiate the veracity of an article because there were no footnotes, or been frustrated because other Civil War magazines promise to give an overview of the times, but do not? THE KEPI is not a casual coffee table publication, but a work that will become a permanent part of your library, assist you in your research, raise new questions and possibly answer others.
