Rating: - A Good Guide to Civil War Sites
This is a good book to find Civil War sites through the US. Alice Cromie shows us where to find major sites as well as some of the little known sites. We not only read of the war itself, but the location of events leading up to the war, and locations of museums dedicated to the Civil War. If you use this book
as a tour guide, be sure to call places ahead of time, as some of these no longer exist. Over all it is a good book to have.

Rating: - Excellent Companion for Touring Civil War Sites
Cromie has written an excellent guide for locating Civil War-related sites in the United States.

The book is organized by state and usually contains the following information:

1. City/town of the event or relation to the Civil War.
2. Location and address of the site.
3. Significance of the site or event.
4. Date of the event.

This book is a gem because it mentions several locations that may not be known to both the Civil War novice.

Rating: - Excellent guide for all civil war enthusiasts.
This book is an easy to follow guide to many civil war sites. Some of the places are the well known sites and some are not so well known. But, you will enjoy tracking these sites state by state. I've used the book sysytematically and when I've visited a site, I highlight in the book the place I've been on the state maps provided. Buy it! Try it! Take lots of pictures, too! Start a scrapbook of civil war sites you've visited. It makes for a great conversation piece.
