Description:

History explodes in this activity guide spanning the turmoil preceding secession, the first shots fired at Fort Sumter, the fierce battles on land and sea, and finally the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. Making butternut dye for a Rebel uniform, learning drills and signals with flags, decoding wigwag, baking hardtack, reenacting battles, and making a medicine kit bring this pivotal period in our nation's history to life. Fascinating sidebars tell of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad, the adventures of nine-year-old drummer boy Johnny Clem, animal mascots who traveled with the troops, and friendships between enemies. The resource section includes short biographies of important figures from both sides of the war, listings of Civil War sites across the country, pertinent Web sites, glossary, and an index.

1THE CIVIL WAR FOR KIDSJul 22, 2009
Nice book for kids if you were raised in the north and have no idea of what the war was really about and only know what the school teachers told you without further study on your own. Would not give this book to a kid who believes what he reads. Needs strong supervision to point out the real reason for the Civil War.

5What a fun way to learn HistoryJan 13, 2009
I am homeschooling my boys ages 8 and 10. I bought this book after seeing the World War 2 version while visiting Pearl Harbor. These books are a great way to bring History to life. My kids are always looking at them during free time and they love the activities that are taught.

5Wonderful resource for kids and adults!Jun 04, 2008
One of our best purchases for homeschooling this year. Good information in an easily readable format with interesting illustrations and activities for children to get a hands-on feeling for what was happening or the routines that were in place. We are all learning from the book so it is a great way to share history as a family and has provoked dinner time and car ride discussions as well -- and this with an 8-year-old! I would highly recommend.
