Title: A traipse through places and issues of the Civil War.
Product review: Tony Horwitz has written an excellent modern day traipse through many of the places and lingering issues of the Civil War. It is obvious in his writing that his perspective is based, in part, on a long lasting personal fascination and interest in the history of the Civil War. From Shiloh to Charleston, the work touches on some unique places of the War. As the great, great grandson of a well known Civil War guerrilla, I thoroughly enjoyed the myriad of places he visited and his attempt in each place to uncover and unravel the personal ties and feelings we each have for the war today. His adventures with the hardcores and his attempt not to "farb out" offer delightful pieces of resulting humor which are appropriately spaced throughout the book. Anyone with an interest in the Civil War would appreciate this well written and informative book, as Mr. Horwitz peers over his shoulder back at the single most important time in American history.
