Civil War Sites 5
Civil War Sites, 2nd: The Official Guide to the Civil War Discovery Trail (Civil War Sites)

This is an excellent guide for people visiting the battlefields. You get a detailed overview of each battlesite, list of events and location maps by state. The driving directions are invaluable, since many of the sites are now lost within the urban sprawl. Anything sponsored by the CWPT is a must read for anyone interested in the American Civil War.

Never knew5
I never knew there were so many civil war sites/battlefields. Several are close by that I didn't know about till I recieved the book. If the American Civil War fascinates you as much as it does me, you'll find this book a MUST HAVE!! Awesome investment..
