By Charles H. Hayes. Filled with dry humor, more than 400 cartoon panels present the chronology of the Civil War, from the idea of states rights to major battles and through Reconstruction. Maps, portraits, battle scenes, and witty exchanges between generals come together to form a narrative that gives not only an excellent overview of the period but also offers clever and memorable insights. Grades 6 and up. 11" x 8½". Pelican. 160 pages. ©2011.
