Things You Never Knew About the Civil War

Millions of words have been written about the American Civil War, nearly all of it dealing with major battles and major personalities involved in the war. This book is different because it concentrates on strange facts, interesting people and incidents, and seldom reported but factual tales associated with the war. For example, did you know that George Armstrong Custer might really be the number one Union hero of the war? Or that several teams of mules won a special commendation and a promotion from General U.S. Grant? This book also explores the role women played in the war, how an atmospheric anomaly affected some battles, and a variety of other strange but true information. We think you will find it interesting.
