 Not bad for the price October 23, 2008
As an avid civil war reader I was a little disappointed at the amount of really new material. Most of the stories will be familiar to civil war buffs. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the story of the Rains brother as a notable exception to this. That was truly a fascinating story, and one I was not aware of until I read it in this book.
 Civil War trivia August 18, 2008
It's okay... I think it has a lot of "filler" in it. I'd rather have a smaller book with precise information in it - stuff that you would not find in other books or you wouldn't have come up with on your on.
unique civil war book July 12, 2008
I can recommend this book because the facts I found were not only interesting, but also important to know as an American. I think every history teacher should probably own a copy. Thanks!
Strange and Interesting facts found while researching the Civil War. May 3, 2008
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.
 A classic January 25, 2008
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.
