Hey, History Isn't Boring Anymore!
A Creative Approach to Teaching the Civil War!About the Book

Take a personality quiz to see if you are a Robert E. Lee or a Harriet Tubman; read the letters sent by a homesick soldier; piece together a quilt that tells of women's involvement in the Civil War.  Whether you are marching along with General Sherman through Georgia or manning the H. L. Hunley, you'll find yourself saying, "Hey, history isn't boring anymore!"  So let history come to life as you explore the Civil War in a whole new way.  This book leaves the traditional textbook style behind and asks readers to tihnk about the Civil War rather than just read about it.  Its creative and fun approach will make history rise from the page!
