I was happy to find this book of lists in a Civil War battleground museum store while on a research trip.
This book contains many fascinating lists. Here are just a few: Union Regiments of Foreign Born; Six Weapons Used for the First Time in the Civil War; The Ten Best Commanded Battles of the War; The Generals Listed by West Point Class and Rank; and The States in Order of Men Furnished for Confederate Service.
There are a few unusual lists as well: Occupations of Union Soldiers; Four Battles with Four Names; Eight Generals Who Had Served in the War of 1812; and Top 10 Strangest Hairstyles.
As an of Civil War romances, these lists often pique my interest, leading me to more research.
Even Civil War historians will discover new facts from this book, sparking discussions.
A great find for lovers of American history!
