Some Wore Blue & Some Wore Gray by Heather Graham is a surprisingly good, though rather short book.  It's really just a collection of brief biographies of some of the most notable figures of the Civil War, so it's definitely no Gone With the Wind; but if you have even a passing interesting in this period of American history, you may find it to be a very informative and entertaining read all the same.The formatting in the Kindle edition isn't especially well done, and the manuscript really could have used a good thorough editing, but other than that, I found reading this book to be more than worthwhile.  Okay... I said the book is no Gone With the Wind, but it does end with a biographical entry about author Margaret Mitchell and her famous literary creation, Scarlett O'Hara.  Not that Scarlett was a real person mind you, but somehow, I agree with the author, that including Scarlett and Ms. Mitchell in the text was not only a very wise, but quite entertaining way to wrap up this slim volume.
