This review is from: The Making of America: The Civil War (Paperback)
Making Of America: Civil War joins others in an outstanding series of blends between history, travelogue and reference guide to cover various aspects of the development of the United States. A section of the book covers parks, historic sites, museums and centers around the Civil War, while chapters survey Civil War events and history in a lively manner.
