The guide to have when touring Carolinas' Civil War sites,
By A Customer
This review is from: Touring the Carolina's Civil War Sites (Touring the Backroads Series) (Paperback)
This book is invaluable to the Civil War enthusiast when touring the battlefields and sites of the Carolina's. The tours are filled with surprises that are off the beaten path and the directions are life savers. Without this book I'd have missed some priceless sidetrips. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone taking a Civil War tour of the Carolinas and look forward to more such books from Clint Johnson in the future.

A user-friendly guide,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Touring the Carolina's Civil War Sites (Touring the Backroads Series) (Paperback)
Maps and black-and-white photographs pepper Touring the Carolinas' Civil War Sites, a blend of history and travel guide to historic places in North and South Carolina. Now in an updated second edition, Touring the Carolinas' Civil War Sites features 21 tours. A user-friendly guide, Touring the Carolinas' Civil War Sites is enthusiastically recommended both for visitors to the Carolinas and for armchair travelers interested in vicariously re-living pivotal moments in American military history. Also highly recommended for Civil War tourists is Johnson's "Touring Virginia's and West Virginia's Civil War Sites", also in a newly updated second edition.
