The Civil War rulz
Man, I can't imagine a better war than the Civil War. And this is one of the best books on that war. This book is for all those guys who dress up on the weekend and pretend to be real soliders. These kind of guys are the best kind of guys in the world, buffs. These buffs should try playing with real ammo and real war time conditions. As a vietnam vet, I know first hand war is really hell. I have to live with this hell the rest of my life. These buffs should try a real war on for size. Peace out!

Another Fair Priced Civil War Winner by Webb Garrison!

For example: "Where did the September 1864 siege of Fort Gibson take place?" Answer. "Indian Territory". Or. . . "What millionaire soldier-of-fortune who was killed at Chantilly had a tow in New Jersey and two decorations, a medal and a cross named after him?" Answer: "Maj. Gen. Philip Kearney (b. New York)". . .or "When the Civil War Began, what future general tried to answer the call for volunteers but was rejected?" Answer: U.S.Grant. The answers range from brief, one-sentence comments to a paragraph, accompanied throughout the book with excellent line drawings and contemporary photographs. The "latest" in a long line of Webb Garrison Civil War trivia and fact works, "2000 Questions and Answers About the Civil War" should be an indispensible part of any Civil War buff's personal home library alongside Burke Davis' "The Civil War: Strange & Fascinating Facts".
