An Outstanding Book
I found Beth Brown's "Haunted Battlefields" a wonderfully informative work. As a Civil War buff this book has found a place on my bookshelves.

This work is well written with great photographs of both the fields of honor as well as interiors of many NPS buildings.

I recommend this book to both those interested in the American Civil War and those who love the mystery of Spirits and Ghosts!

A Fresh Look at Virginia's Battlefield Spirits



As a fan of history and ghosts stories I was excited to read the battlefield stories and experiences from this author. Ms. Brown has a fresh approach to her travels through Virginia's battlefields. I really enjoyed Ms Brown's writing style. She transports the reader right along beside her as she explores each site.

I was surprised and happy to see that this book was packed with pictures. I Love it! I found this book so fascinating that I basically read this book in one sitting.

One of my favorite chapters is about Belle Island. I have been to this site and know that it has quite a "spirited" history. Creepy!

If you like history or you just like a good ghost story then this is a book you will definitely want to read.

Chilling Tales of Civil War Battlefields and Ghosts
Haunted Battlefields: Virginia's Civil War Ghosts

A very engaging narrative, so much so I couldn't put it down. I began reading it just before going on vacation, and then took it with me to the beach so I could finish reading it.

The author details her trips and investigations at historic battlefields throughout Virginia. Often making two and three separate trips to each one in order to acquire conduct additional investigations and acquire more data. Her perseverance and research paid off too. I've been to a few of the locations in the book and Ms. Brown's observations and descriptions of the look and feel of a place are dead on.

The most interesting chapters for me were Cold Harbor and Chimborazo Park. I lived in Richmond for eleven years and I never heard of some of the fascinating history that Ms. Brown reveals to her readers.

It is a great read--both educational and entertaining. Anyone who is interested in Virginia history, the Civil War, or paranormal investigations will enjoy reading this book.
