This book is very helpful to both kids, teens and adults who are doing a project, researching, or just reading for fun. It contains interesting facts, helpful facts, and it has GREAT pictures. There are also some little side stories, but mainly it is made up of facts, stories, and happenings during the war. I reccomend this for anyone who is at all interested in the US Civil War because it will pull you in farther and you will become even more interested in this topic once you read it and you will pick this book up again and again.
