Welcome to the award-winning North South Trader's Civil War magazine, the first and finest periodical dedicated to collectors, relic hunters, historians, and researchers of the War Between the States. Since 1973 we have celebrated the Civil War artifact as a contextual, tangible document of history. We have published well over 1,000 articles focusing on every type of relic that exists, from minie balls to uniforms 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, housed at a historical society, or excavated from the soil, all have important places within our pages.
We have been active in historic preservation since our first issue, and we are proud of the fact that we were in the vanguard of publicizing the crucial fight against rampant development of the primary relic: the battlefield. Long before ARPA ever existed, we were the first to publish the ethics and etiquette of Civil War relic hunting, including but not limited to obtaining permission for private property and never encroaching on protected lands.
Please join us as we continue to investigate Civil War history through the untold stories of its artifacts.

Each year we host two major Civil War shows. Our National Civil War & Antique Arms Show is held every summer in Richmond, Virginia. Our first National show was held in 1974 and we now boast the finest Civil War show in the field ~ plus, we've expanded to include the National World War I & II Show under the same roof. Two great shows for one ticket! We also co-host, with Thomas Publications, the Autumn Gettysburg Civil War & Antique Militaria Show held the last weekend of October at the AllStar Complex at the Eisenhower Inn & Conference Center. Battlefield tours, an outlet mall, and fine dining are just minutes away from this location, making it a favorite weekend getaway for the entire family.
