Curiosities of the Civil War: Strange Stories, Infamous Characters and Bizarre Events by Webb Garrison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'll start by saying that this book took me an insanely long amount of time, but I enjoyed it. Nonfiction books usually take me a longer time and this one took an exceptional amount of time to read since there was no linear story line. There are a bunch of semi-connected facts in a vague theme. All of them are pretty interesting and I feel like I have a chance at winning Trivial Pursuit now.
I recommend treating this as a sporadic read. I don't think I would have enjoyed this book had I tried to read it in one sitting. However, I would read a few chapters here and there in between other books. This helped me stay interested and I didn't think I lost anything from the book through doing it this way.
Civil War buffs will enjoy this book or anyone into untold stories from history.
