Another great book for captivating history！In my opinion there’s not a more interesting time in history than the 1800s and that definitely includes a Civil War。 From the battle of Shiloh to the battle of Manassas all the way down to the burning of Atlanta。 Many of good men were lost and many were made heroes。 There’s a lot of myths going around about the Civil War such as northerners being non-racist to every southerners were all racist。 They have shades of every color in this book though they f Another great book for captivating history！In my opinion there’s not a more interesting time in history than the 1800s and that definitely includes a Civil War。 From the battle of Shiloh to the battle of Manassas all the way down to the burning of Atlanta。 Many of good men were lost and many were made heroes。 There’s a lot of myths going around about the Civil War such as northerners being non-racist to every southerners were all racist。 They have shades of every color in this book though they focus on the battle of Shiloh and just like every captivating history book I learned something I didn’t know。 I’m so excited to see they’re doing the battles of the Civil War and I hope this theme continues。 。。。more

The author of this explanation of the Battle of Shiloh took the time to give some of the more interesting facts about the participants in the fight。 We learned what arms each side used; what they wore （awful， hot wool uniforms）， and who the main combatants were。 The author also explained why Civil War troops lined up in rows and show at each other in standing positions。 Of course， as weapons improved， being compressed in close proximity was bad for the soldiers。The number of photos and maps was The author of this explanation of the Battle of Shiloh took the time to give some of the more interesting facts about the participants in the fight。 We learned what arms each side used; what they wore （awful， hot wool uniforms）， and who the main combatants were。 The author also explained why Civil War troops lined up in rows and show at each other in standing positions。 Of course， as weapons improved， being compressed in close proximity was bad for the soldiers。The number of photos and maps was wonderful; pictures explain so much。 It was surprising to learn how many immigrants were serving on each side of the war。 Another great thing about this book is that readers get an almost by-the-moment accounting of the battle。 The author also analyzes the errors made by each side。 It is amazing that 80，000 soldiers could fight in an area of only 5。8 square miles。 It undoubtedly contributed to the high death count。 It is an irony that Shiloh means 'place of peace' in Hebrew。 。。。more
