Pictures of the battlefields and in-depth commentaries about Civil War times make these American Civl War history lessons a valuable resource.
In Everyday Life: The Civil War, you will follow young Union and Confederate Soldiers through training and on to the hardships and boredom of camp life. You will accompany them as they go into battle for the first time and share their feelings and apprehensions. All the while, you will learn how they dressed, how they were equipped, and what they ate. You will also learn about innovations, or changes, in warfare that impacted the daily lives of these young men. The Everyday Life Series is recommended for grades 5 to 8.
Everyday Life: The Civil War is exactly what the title implies. It is a survey of what everyday life was like during a most trying time in our nation's history. Battles are mentioned in connection with other events, but, except for the first battle of Bull Run, they are not the focus of this book.
