Good Basic Guide to Civil War Related Sites
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The book is simple and well organized. It is meant to be a catalog of sites. It's descriptions of sites and events are of the thumbsketch variety. Yet, it contains a wide variety of Civil War sites. The trail touches on the social and engineering aspects of the war. Most of the sites are military/battlefield related. I have found it to be a very good companion to either the Smithsonians Guide or Kennedy's Battlefields. This book is well worth the money.
A Good Glove Box Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
While this book as no where near the historical information to guide you from behind the windshield, it certainly does have broad scope to direct you to the places where you can get that information. I found it well-organized and readable with some interesting side bars. This is a good glove box book.
