I just finished reading this book. I borrowed the book from my stepdad. It was an interesting book to read. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars. I have completed book 4 for #JoysofJune hosted by @Andrew65

I read this almost twenty years ago when I was on a Civil War kick. Very interesting story. He was shunned because he did not say Lee was an idol, but made mistakes.

I‘ve somehow gotten back into historical non-fiction mode 🤷‍♀️It‘s interesting to see all of the artifacts that are included in this book. #nonfiction

This is a bibliography about Rose O‘Neale Greenhow, a confederate spy. The author provides multiple pieces of evidence of documentation of original sources like diaries and letters. I liked how the author's style was readable and the background information blended naturally with the narrative.

I would not use this book in my future classroom, because the topic would not be interesting to children when presented this way. I could maybe use this book for quotes or quick context about her and then plan lessons off it.

American Civil War scholars would argue that Andersonville was one of the most notoriously horrific prisoner of war camps during the war. Starvation, disease, limited shelter - for those Northern soldiers sent to this camp, survival was a struggle. The commander of the camp was convicted and executed for war crimes after the war. #HighwayToHell #MarchIntoThe70s

BTW...Elmira was the equivalent for Confederate soldiers.

Cinfhen Wow!! I‘ve never heard of Andersonville 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Oh, I didn‘t know this either! 6y
rustoryhuf I live about 10 miles from Andersonville. Truly a humbling experience. 6y

Visiting Wilson's Creek battlefield, I was overcome by its beauty & its tale. Growing up Iowa & since a life long resident of Missouri, this history teacher was surprised at how little I knew of the first major battle west of the Mississippi that claimed the life of the first Union General, Nathaniel Lyons. In fact, Missouri is only 2nd to Virginia in number of Civil War battles--now that isn't something you read in most history books.

#OneWayOrAnother the Hunley would be raised. The US Civil War saw a lot of technological innovations. Submarine warfare was one of them; remember, this was 1861-1865. The Confederacy had a successful submarine named the Hunley...successful, but was lost during its last mission. This book chronicles the search and discovery of the Hunley. #OctoberXFiles

Cinfhen I read a scholastic jr book about The Hunley with my son years ago!!, very interesting 🤓 (edited) 6y
ferskner Oooo I've seen it! It's ultra tiny. 6y
Librarybelle @ferskner I‘d love to see it! Amazing to think how many men fit into that tiny submarine. 6y
