This review is from: Civil War Quiz and Fact Book (Paperback)
This is a GREAT source for casual Civil War trivia buffs! Its concise, ordered question and answer format works well for use as an icebreaker in gatherings and allows reading in short sessions. Makes a good, inexpensive gift. Check out the Old West Quiz and Fact Book by the same author.

This review is from: Civil War Quiz and Fact Book (Paperback)
My brother had this book and I'm interested in the Civil War but cannot remember all the Battles, Generals, locations, etc. This book was a quick answer to many of these, sections off by battles, etc.) and couldn't put it down. Very helpful and refreshing.
