Turning Points of the Civil War - 1863

What a handsome book! After visiting Vicksburg, I wanted to know more about that important Civil War battle and siege. The description, maps, chronology chart, and photos really expanded my understanding of the events. You get first hand accounts from ones who were there (U.S. Grant, an infantryman, Major General William T. Sherman, a captain, a chaplain, a private and other participants including a resident of Vicksburg). I'd wanted a whole book on Vicksburg, but had to settle for the 60 pages that this had. The other battles included are Chancellorsville (66 pages), Gettysburg (66 pages), Chickamauga (64 pages) and Chattanooga (64 pages). All receive the same thorough treatment with good maps and personal accounts.
