Christmas Present

I can't give a complete review, as this was purchased as a Christmas present for a nephew who is a history buff. I leafed thru the book after receiving it, and I found it very interesting, the stories were well written and presented. We do know that our nephew was pleased when he looked at it. I'd give it a 4 out 5 just on our experiences.


Strange and Interesting facts found while researching the Civil War.

Great read, read it in a day. What odd things happened in those times and were put on record for us to find these many years later. Fun and filled with fun facts.

Betcha' didn't know...!

I learned a lot of facts about The Civil War reading Burke's marvelous book, including the fact that Stonewall Jackson's beard had its own, unique microfauna.

A classic

This book is a must for Civil War buffs, presenting lots of odd facts about the War Between the States which one would probably not come across except in bits and pieces in other works. I never get tired of looking through this one.
