"I must have checked out this book from the library at least 500 times during my elementary school years! It was my first introduction to the US Civil War and one of the reasons I became a lover of military history. The most vivid memory I have is of the wonderful battle maps which showed individual soldiers in blue and gray lined up for battle or wounded or killed rather than just colored lines and arrows." [private review]

"I work in a Middle School with grades 6-8 and this has been an excellent tool to use in conjunction with the History text our district uses. The illustrations in the book provide a visual to go along with the descriptions they read in the text." [private review]
