The Civil War is still alive and well here in the Deep South, however you may feel about that. No matter how you feel about keeping alive the memories of that awful, bloody war between American brethren, there is no doubt that it is a huge benchmark in American History, and a study of the time and places of the Civil War is a fascinating study. Great Civil War Projects You Can Build Yourself is a great hands-on resource for those who want to not only read their history, but recreate and live it as well.

The book begins with a fairly short introduction that explains the basis of the war and a brief overview of the years and how everything finally ended. This really is nothing more than the smallest of introductions to the topic, and is written on a level for about 4th to 5th grade. After the introduction you are taken to the meat of the book, a series of 18 chapters with good information about specific parts of the war and how people lived during that time.
