About the book:  Walk the battlefields of Shiloh and Gettysburg; kneel at the graves of men who wore blue and gray; and visit the museums and national parks---either on foot or from your armchair! Part history and part travel guide, this lushly illustrated book includes descriptions of more than 300 sites in 21 states; maps; and travel information. 272 pages, softcover.

Review:  This book proved pictures and information about battles that were fought in each state. It would be a wonderful book for those students doing reports. It would also be a great book for those who are interested in history. It will provide insight to some battles that you were unaware. I would recommend this book for older children. (rev. S.Wall)

The photography is beautiful and text thorough for a history buff that enjoys pictorial displays.
