Civil War Trivia includes facts, tall tales, fascinating folklore, stories, songs, journals and more! This book provides an accurate, fast-paced, fascinating (even flabbergasting!) look at how facts can tell a story of not just war, but human nature, invention, coincidence, the farfetched, the big, the small, the impossible, the "who'd a thunk it?!" Yet another creative Gallopade way to tell the story that needs to be told, but with a constant flow of clever "hooks" and "gotchas" that keep kids reading and caring.
This book will help students gain perspective, appreciation, and the understanding of how wars happen and how they might be avoided. This timely book will help to educate kids about the civil war plus get them excited so that they read them and learn! Perfect for the upcoming 150th Anniversary of the Civil War from 2011 to 2015.
