It isn’t QUITE as bad as you make out. Yes, the entire OR Supplement is $5,500, but 80% of it consists of the “Record of Events” taken from extant muster rolls of units. Only about two dozen volumes contain after-action reports missing from the original OR, and the publisher will sell this portion on its own (I’ve been to a few libraries that only purchased the report volumes).

As for a digital version, the text of all the reports are in the public domain, so if you have a scanner, OCR software, bandwidth, and a lot of extra time on your hands. . . . ;)
