A Very Interesting Book

The facts that Garrison writes about are both interesting and captivating. Being a AP high school American History teacher, I use the facts found in this book to captivate my students and give them a perspective on the war that they may have never found otherwise. I have three other Garrison's books: The Amazing Civil War, Civil War Curiosities, and More Civil War Curiosities. I would recommend to every anyone!
