5.0 out of 5 stars
If you've heard of the Civil War, you should read this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Civil War Sites in the Southern States (Paperback)
This book, although long, not only gives involved discussion of different sites and good directions from a man who has obviously been to all of these sights, but also a detailed account of what was going on at that time in the war. While a bit preachy at times, This book is very interesting, and reads as well as most novels. This book is not only an interesting read, but a travel plan that looks like a great option for this summer.

Comprehensive for the Can't-Get-Enough-of-those-CW-Battlefields Traveler,

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Civil War Sites in the Southern States, 3rd (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)
Southern in terms of south of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and east of Texas. This book focuses on Civil War sites in the deep south.If your thing is dragging the wife and kids to every CW site within fifty miles of your vacation jaunt, this book is for you. It is a handy guide with a glossary, information on the organization of armies and character close ups (though I think anyone who would pick up a book like this would know these items already). The tour information is well organized by state with battle summaries (or "what-happened-here" descriptions), tour organization, points of interest, dining and accommodations and "what it looks like today" discussions. For the serious CW traveler, a helpful guide. |
