Summary

Part history and part travel, this guide presents updated listings to battlefields, cemeteries, museums, and related historical sites to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. The Civil War spanned five years with three million men seeing combat and more than 600,000 of them killed in battle. Today, many Civil War battlefields remain intact and commemorate our nation's tumultuous past. Civil War buffs, with the aid of this book, can walk the battlefields of Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg, visit the museum of Virginia, Florida and Tennessee, view crude weapons and primitive medical devices, and kneel at the graves of those who fought and died. Organized by state and illustrated with full-color photos, this book will satisfy the curiosity of history enthusiasts and travelers alike.
