5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate and Spooky ghosts, December 14, 1999

By	Rachel (Warrensburg, Missouri, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

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.

By	Heather Sand "hdsand7" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Civil War or Ghosts, January 11, 2007

A Kid's Review

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.
