1 comments about Last Order of the Lost Cause.

1. My review will be somewhat biased due to the fact that Raphael Jacob Moses was my Great Grandfather. I thought that this book was excelletly researched and edited by Mr. Young. I found that as I read and got deeper in to my family history I could not put it down. For someone who is very interested in life during the Civil War either from a military perspective or from a deeply personal perspective this book will not dissapoint.

1 comments about Six Months at the White House.

1. Perfect for anyone with a keen interest in our country's greatest president.
   I had desired a new hard-cover edition of this famous book written by Francis Carpenter in 1866 and this one fulfilled my needs exactly.
   
   Many of the short but telling stories and quotes cited here pop up in the many recent histories of Abraham Lincoln.

1 comments about A Pictorial History of the Confederacy.

1. Black-and-white maps, diagrams, and photographs on almost every page illustrate A Pictorial History Of The Confederacy, a wide survey of more than forty battles of the American Civil War. From the foundations of the Confederacy in 1860 and 1861 to battle flags, to the heavy toll of bloodshed upon the fields, A Pictorial History Of The Confederacy presents the details of the war in a condensed, fact-by-fact manner that makes it a superb summary and overview resource, for lay readers and aspiring historians alike.

2 comments about Shadrach Minkins: From Fugitive Slave to Citizen.

1. Shadrach who?? This book provides amazing insight into the experiences of an unlikely hero whose story should be taught in grade school. A terrific amount of information condensed into a readable, enjoyable package--I can not imagine how difficult it must have been for the author to gather such little-known information. I only regret that I hadn't known the book or its main character years ago.



2. It's hard to imagine how much work went into the research of this book. To find the details and documentation is mind consuming. The story puts flesh and blood onto a part of history that was forgotten and lived only in bits and pieces. Truly the work of a dedicated individual.
