Strange and Obscure Stories of the Civil War examines the incrediblyStrange and Obscure Stories of the Civil War
Strange and Obscure Stories of the Civil War examines the incredibly entertaining underbelly of the nation's greatest calamity, telling seldom-recounted tales of battle, of the time spent between battles and of the men (and women) who aren't often celebrated, but were central to the time.
Read about the woman who might have won the war for the North; the Yankees and Confederates who raced locomotives through Tennessee, and the Civil War sailors who fought a naval battle off the coast of France; the gun so strange that a band of Confederates surrendered just to have a look at it up close; and the wild Rebel who ran his cavalry in a literal circle around the entire Northern Army.
Rowland explores other hilarious, shocking and little-known factoids in his book, which takes a humorous view of the often overly reverential treatment of our Civil War. Tales of drunken women soldiers, dirt-flinging fistfights and jailbird Senators make this an unforgettable look at an important part of American history.
Strange and Obscure Stories of the Civil War specializes in the irony and even humor of the war that has been overlooked for the last century and a half. 2011, Paperback, 256 pages, ISBN 978-1616083953.
