T his is an excellent and handy resource guide for those who love the Civil War and like to base trips and tours around it. It includes beautiful color photographs of over 300 sites arranged according to state and includes not only battlegrounds but museums, cemeteries and historic places.
Colorful maps pinpoint the sites within each state.
I was particularly impressed with the fact that the war west of the Mississippi was covered so well, particularly in Missouri, Oklahoma and New Mexico. This book will make an ideal guide for the dedicated Civil War fan or the novice interested in learning more about this terrible chapter in our nation's history.
