Not really a great read
I found this work to be a little disappointing. Each story seemed to develope slowly and was just not exiciting or interesting. Maybe to someone just beginning to read about this war, it might hold some interest, but not in my case.

"Why you say it" is a great trivia resource
If you want to know the origins of 'Once in a blue moon' or 'Here mud in your eye' or countless other phases and words, this is the book for you. The book is a very entertaining resource full of the mundane and arcane roots of common phrases. This is truly the stuff in which trivia games are made.

Brady's Civil War: A Collection of Memorable Civil War Images Photographed by Matthew Brady and His Assistants

Webb Garrison

The Lyons Press, 2008

Excellant Compilation
Mr. Webb's compilation of the photographs of Matthew Brady is a fine edition to any Civil War library. The only limitation is one of expectations. In Brady's age the technology of photography was limited when compared to todays standards. The lack of fast film, or for that matter film as we know it, meant that all pictures had to be stages. Thus, there are no actual photographs of the numerous ...

You'll be surprised how far some of these women went for their cause, and how much they accomplished in that time frame that provided them with so little independent resources. This book is a good introduction into these women, that may ...
