This book was available in my Elementary schools library. I remember pouring over the illustrated maps reading the numerically represented positions time wise as the battles progressed throughout the day. Yes, you could say it is nostalgic, but for the modern reader it offers a break from this time and takes you back to a time when...well the future of the United States was in question. I hope new readers really look at this book as a more comprehensible version of a very complicated time in our nations history and enjoy the writing, photos, and of course the illustrations.

It gave a great overview of the history of the Civil War. I have always wanted to gain more knowledge of this era and to find out the various points of view on why the war started. The pictures and illustrations throuhout the book added greatly to the enjoyment of the reading. You could visualize yourself living and participating in the war. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Civil war and the affect it had on people (north and south).
