PSRS Handbooks
The PSRS has put together a handbook that will help our members to enhance their War Between the States persona. It has ___ chapters that cover a variety of subjects. These range from the correct hair styling techniques to things of common knowledge an average citizen of the United States living in the 1860s would know. They are very helpful and thought provoking. All members are entitled to copies of the entire book, or chapters they are interested in. These handbooks are not available to the general public and are only released to current members. Members are not permitted to copy the handbook for any purpose, including distribution to non PSRS members.
All Unit Representatives will soon be issued the handbook on a digital CD. An Announcement will be posted on this site when these CD's have been distrubuted. Members may then contact their Unit Representative to acquire the desired segments. Unit Representatives have permission to copy the handbook, or chapters, to a CD for the personal use of a member. The Reps may also print the handbook, or chapters, on paper for members that do not have access to a computer for review. Cost is determined by each Unit Representative as they are responsible for the distribution to the membership.
