True stories of unusual happenings during the Civil War.
A collection of fascinating anecdotes and colorful stories, this book covers a wide variety of subjects, including "newfangled" weapons that changed the nature of war, the press' outrageous inaccuracy in convering the conflict, the phenomenon of "silent battles" and various disguises, atrocities, and mix-ups.
