Product Description

Synopsis

Surveys technological inventions, prominent personalities, battles, and clandestine operations in addition to relating bizarre incidents, famous firsts, and unusual facts about the Civil War.

From the Author

I wrote this book not for humorous reasons!!!!!!!!
This was not a book meant to provide a lightness to the war! Instead, it was a way of both apologizing for previous misconstrutions, and to show you the problems of our country that still exist and were not halted or prevented by the war WE should have won! Thank You for your time -Burke Davis

5.0 out of 5 stars The stories behind The Story, 2 Jan 1998

By A Customer

Did you know that the owner of the farm where the first Civil War fighting took place hosted the peace treaty signing in his front parlor in Appomattox? Col Wilmer McClean, seeking to escape the fighting after the First Battle at Bull Run, moved to Southern Virginia and settled in Appomattox. Little did he know the fighting would eventually follow him--and end with the meeting of Grant and Lee in his front parlor. Minutiae and the smaller aspects of the Great War Between the States is all documented in this rather small volume. This is not a stale treatment of those lesser-known facts of the Civil War, but a lively telling of those incidents and thoughts on the Great American Schism. It is hard to put the book down once you start reading it. A must read.
