Curiosities of the Civil War

Curiosities of the Civil Way by Webb Garrison is a unique and different view of the Civil War and those who were touched by it. While today these events cause no concern and may seem to be useless information, at the time they took place they held importance and had an impact on the outcome of many of the battles.

Name changes that some people did have lived with them through history. We don't even know their birth names now. Mr. Garrison tells us why many of these changes took place.Wives who followed their husbands into war and became nurses, spies or even soldiers are mentioned. The place of Negro soldiers in the war is also brought up - both the pros and the cons. Would you believe the most valuable item was the soldier's horse? How about newspaper men who traveled as doctors or even farmers just so they could get a story? These are just a few of the curiosities you will find in this book.
