Can Anyone Give Me Some Information For A Research Paper On Colonel Robert G. Shaw?

There are a number of sites you can try for information on Colonel Robert Gould Shaw.

The son of the south web site carries numerous newspaper clippings about the Colonel from issues of Harper's Weekly published during the Civil War. This is a good source of contemporary reportage, some of which has not been published elsewhere or included in modern publications.

Click on the thumbnails of the pages you are interested in and scroll down to the bottom of the new window that opens.

Details of the men who served under him is available by downloading this PDF.

Another dedicated site worth looking at is this one at geocities.com.

There is also a letter from Shaw's father to Abraham Lincoln online at the Library of Congress.

A further primary source of information on the Civil War and Colonel Shaw are the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. These can be accessed by visiting the e-history site of Ohio State University.
