Elizabeth Van Lew

This book was very informational. This book was also a great source to learn more about the Civil War. Not only did it focus on Van Lew, it also contains a plump amount of information on the Civil War. I enjoyed reading it and learning about a person of the Civil war that made a significant effect on the war, but not taught it text books. I wish there had been more about her personal life, but a lack of source of her personal life could be reasoning for this. It was also interesting that the last chapter explains how the information about Ezilabeth Van Lew has been found an saved over the years. I recommend this book to anyoe who enjoys reading about the Civil War and women of earlier eras.
