I learned a lot about the Civil War this summer, but there is SO much more cool stuff out there about this super-interesting chapter in American history. I just had to give you a few more suggestions . . . Have fun nerding out! The Civil War: A Narrative, by Shelby Foote Seriously everything you ever needed to know about the Civil War. It’s long, but don’t be intimidated—it’s super good, I promise! Gettysburg, by Stephen W. Sears The ultimate book about the ultimate battle. The Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War, by Drew Gilpin Faust A fascinating book about the terrible toll the war took on America. Not for those with weak stomachs—it can get a little grisly! The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane Fictional story of a young soldier struggling with his fear of battle. Total classic. A must-read. (And Beau’s favorite book!) The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara Historical novel about what went down at the real battle of Little Round Top.
