I have three of Garrison's books: The Amazing Civil War, Civil War Curiosities, and More Civil War Curiosities. I would recommend each and every book to anyone! The facts that Garrison writes about are both interesting and captivating and being a high school American History teacher, I plan on using the facts that I have found no where else to captivate my students and give them a perspective on the war that they may have never found otherwise.

This book is a collection of strange and little-known facts about the American Civil War. Everything is covered in this nifty little book from discipline within the armies, famous descendents and ancestors, through graft and corruption, and battles fought in the nude! (Yes, ten whole pages of them!) This is a fun little book, a nice quick read for any student of the Civil War.

Or maybe for people with attention spans similar to goldfish. Awful, tidbit-sized offerings that may or may not be true. You'll learn nothing of the significance of the Civil War from this offering.
