Rather than try to fit a week’s worth of material into each issue, starting with Volume 2, Issue 16 will be about 20 to 30 pages long. Depending upon the events of the time period covered, some issues may have seven days worth of material, some may only have a couple of days, and others may have nine or ten days. The previous issues of Volume 2 attempted to cover one full week in about the same amount of space.

Starting with Volume 2, Issue 17, each issue will have an index for the names of individuals mentioned in that issue. Skedaddle is intended to be for those who are interested in the civil war and those who are doing genealogical research. The name index will provide additional benefit for those using Skedaddle for genealogical purposes.

In October, 2005, I began re-publishing previous issues of Volume 2. Since Volume 2 is devoted to material from 1861, each republished issue and all future issues of Volume 2 will be identified with the year instead of the volume number. For instance, “Volume 2 Issue 20” is being published as “Issue 1861—20.”

Skedaddle is a free e-journal primarily consisting of material written over 100 years ago about the American civil war, often by people who experienced the war or who were directly impacted by it. Material related to the conditions and circumstances that led to the war may also be included. Skedaddle may be printed and distributed in hard-copy, including unlimited copies, for non-profit, non-commercial purposes. Skedaddle may not be re-published electronically or on-line without permission.

For the most part, the content of Skedaddle will be short pieces that fit well within the journal’s format. The pieces will include excerpts from newspaper articles and editorials, as well as occasional incidents, anecdotes, poetry, and other material that may become available. In some instances, the material may be an excerpt from a larger work.

Material from Skedaddle comes from the public domain. During and after the civil war, there was a significant number of works published that included material related to the war, and, of course, in many instances the entire works were devoted to the topic. Nineteenth century material included in Skedaddle is from the public domain and thus, initially, free of copyright. However, once material is included and published in Skedaddle, it becomes a part of a compilation, which is protected under U. S. and international copyright laws. Much of the material used in Skedaddle is edited for space and content considerations. If material for an article is edited, that portion that is edited becomes new work protected under copyright laws.

Skedaddle is neither pro-North or pro-South. However, the material published in Skedaddle, in many instances, will be slanted one way or another as a result of the nineteenth century author’s or subject’s views and experiences. While the editor will try to maintain a balance between the two sides, there is simply a lot more material available from the side of the victors.

Skedaddle is not intentionally “politically correct.” Articles, stories, and poems in our e-journal originated over 100 years ago. The views expressed and the language used will, in most instances, be included as published in the original text. When pieces are edited for space considerations, the text will not be intentionally altered to conform with twenty-first century sensitivities.

We want our publication to be readily available in printed form for use, reading and reference. To facilitate this, we freely grant print re-distribution rights, subject only to the following limited restrictions

Copies of the text only version of the e-journal sent by e-mail to subscribers may be forwarded and shared without restriction, but may not be published on any website, except in an archive such as that maintained by RootsWeb for its mailing lists.

All other rights are retained by the copyright owner. Except for e-mail forwarding and sharing, electronic republication of either format of any issue of the e-journal requires written permission of the copyright owner.
