Customer Review: This book hit the spot. I am going to visit several Battlefields and wanted to understand the best way to see them and how the battle happened. I also learned 'why' the battles happened. A very good book.
Customer Review: Countryman Press consistently produces quality guides and this one is up to their high standards. In its combination of battle synopses, directions, and geograpical range this is the most comprehensive guide to Civil War sites yet published.

Customer Review: The Conservation Fund's title "The Civil War Battlefield Guide" in my opinion is an invaluable tool for understanding the flow and troop dispositions of several Civil War battles. In all, there are maps and troop movements for around 60 Civil War engagements and range from smaller battles such... more info

Customer Review: I do admire the work and dedication he put into this book and work but some of the Indian testimony he gives for the purpose of backing his claim of no last stand is suspect. For every Indian testimony he gives that say there was no last stand and the fight was short I can find and give at least 3... more info
Customer Review: Although I have read and enjoyed Byron Farwell's book on the disastrous Balls Bluff battle that caused such a psychological shock on the Union, Morgan's book provides deeper analysis into what occurred virtually blow by blow that will appeal greatly to the serious Civil War student.
