Great Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Burnside's Bridge : Antietam (Battleground America Series) (Paperback)
Burnside's Bridge was a great book. It showed the importance of burnsides bridge in the war. John Canaan wrote this book using a lot of imagery and detail. Not only did he describe everything well, he had supporting maps and pictures depicting the scene and what was going on during the battles. Another excellent thing about this book is the language, it was written where even young children can read the book for school and understand it.
