Passionate and Spooky ghosts,
By Rachel (Warrensburg, Missouri, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Ghosts (Mass Market Paperback)
I like this book because it tells weird but true ghost stories. I also like the end of each story it gives places and addresses you can visit.Also phone numbers you can call for more information. Some of the stories are of love and hate. Some stories gave me chills.

Great Teaching Tool,
By Heather Sand (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil War Ghosts (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is incredible. My students loved hearing the multiple tales of hauntings from the Civil War. My students actually wrote to a few places that were mentioned in the book and received impressive replies. Thumbs up!

Civil War or Ghosts,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Civil War Ghosts (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this book was wonderful, wether or not the ghost stories were true. Much of the actual history was accurate and is good for anyone who'd like to read about ghost or the civil war, as the title makes very clear. If only you will read with an open mind to the material, and not worry about the truth in the book. Personally I don't belive in ghosts and things, but wanted to enjoy the romance and adventure in the stories. I think that if you have a good imagination, and enjoy an interesting ghost story that has to do with history, then you will enjoy Civil War Ghosts.
