Book Reviews of The Civil War: Strange & Fascinating Facts
Book Review: Not bad for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
