Lessons of War: The Civil War in Children's Magazines

Rating:
Summary: One Of A Kind Book About Children's Experience In Civil War!
Review: This fine book shows how the Civil War was viewed through the young of all races, locales, and backgrounds. Mainly through magazines for children, you get a real feel for history at this terrible time. From children's letters from their dads at the front, visits to hospital, songs, battles (especially Gettysburg), homes and schools, this is a unique visit to the time. My favorite section related plays written and performed, including "Succession From Union Seminary" starring Columbia, Louis Anna, Mass, N York, Flora Da,Britannia, and all the rest. Definitely a keepsake that will remain fresh for years to come.
