After taking a close look at this work, I was simply unable to find one single instances where there was any historical inaccuracy what so ever. Granted, the stories of individual soldiers from both the north and south have been fictionalized in order to tell a rousing story, but the historical facts on which they are based upon are all correct.
Secondly we have the art work involved here. It is simply some of the best I have viewed in recent years. Uniform and weapon accuracy are paramount in this sort of work and the artist has nailed it perfectly. The action panels are perfectly done, many showing the horrors of war, yet not to the point of using blood, guts and grossness to the point of being gratuitous. On the other hand, a soldier who has been hit by a. There is realism here with out being overly gruesome.
Third, the action is fast and furious throughout the book and is bound to capture the imagination of any young and not so young reader. Forth, the author s have liberally sprinkled and amazing number of Civil War facts throughout the book. Reading it is like receiving a small history lesson The text is simply to read but has in no way been "dumbed down" as is so often the case in works such as this. This book includes a map of the United States and a very nicely done Civil War time line. It includes 12 stories. The book includes a very nice list of works which make ideal further reading on the subjects covered in this book.
All in all, I really feel this book, and others in the series, should be included in school libraries as they most certainly will stimulate some interest in not only the history of the Civil War, but history in general.

It consists of 30 half-hour lectures that focus directly on the time of the war itself, both on the battlefield as well as the political and social fronts. It has been incredibly helpful in understanding the context and meaning of the sites we have visited and the role they played in the overall conflict. It has also shed light on the political and social divide that yet fissures culture in our nation today.
We get our courses via Audible. You can get a free trial month here: Our first tactile encounter with Civil War history was in New Orleans which was captured in May of by Union forces approaching from the Gulf of Mexico. The Union held it throughout the rest of the war. We were there just before the city started taking down many of its monuments honoring the Confederacy and its heroes. The controversy around that is a good example of how the cultural currents that sparked succession are still with us today.
It was an event that long ago passed from living memory but the spirit of north and south are both very much alive in the hearts of many, each with their own view as to what they mean. Apologists cite states rights and liberty as rallying cries for the Confederacy but history shows these values were often compromised to protect the institution of slavery and with it the economic foundation of southern social hierarchy.
To my mind, the liberty they pursued was the liberty to oppress others which to my mind is no liberty at all. Not that the Union forces were angels, far from it, but their path was the one I think our founding principles called for. That said, it is not something we should ever forget. It is a lesson on all Americans should study carefully. So when it comes to remembering the Confederacy, I think we have to walk a fine line.
I am all for removing monuments that venerate the Confederacy and its heroes. I am, however, not for trying to whitewash or erase the history and memory of it.
