Bruce Catton, Narrative. Adapted for young readers by Charles Flato. The Golden Book of the Civil War.
Generously illustrated, many in color. The illustrations in the book provide a visual to go along with the descriptions they read in the text.
I must have checked out this book from the library at least 500 times during my elementary school years! It was my first introduction to the US Civil War and one of the reasons I became a lover of military history. The most vivid memory I have is of the wonderful battle maps which showed individual soldiers in blue and gray lined up for battle or wounded or killed rather than just colored lines and arrows. I can't wait to introduce this book to my kids!
