Summary: Civil War Battlefield Guide
Review: This is an excellent resource for anyone planning on visiting Civil War battlefields. Even if one does not actually go to the site, this book's detailed maps and readable text helps illustrate the battles described. I recently visited Chickamauga battlefield in Georgia and this guide was very helpful in adding scope and dimension.Most major engagements are covered by this book, in fact I can think of none that is worth visiting that is not in this book. I have enjoyed this book for a while now (the hardcover is out of print but the paperback is available) and look forward to many more years of use from it.

Summary: Excellent Synopsis, Excellent Maps
Review: While the work certainly carries the battle summaries of very well known Civil War historians and has wonderful maps, by trying to tackle 55 different battles, it tends to stop short of a full understanding of the war, and completely ignores the other family members who could care less about the trenches while on vacation.
