Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-03 00:00:00 Er Te Being a huge Shaara fan, I knew going into this book was not going to be his typical style or for that matter a true history book. But it is what I was hoping for, I'm about to turn 50 and am planning a trip to Shiloh, because of all the books I've read and the fact I just love American Civil War history in general. However, reading this book has given me more to look at than just a simple stop in and try to absorb the battlefield. Being from the western United States I still get goose flesh thinking of my visit to the Little Big Horn battlefield. A truly unique snapshot of what happened there. I would urge any history buff to pay the place a visit while traveling west. Because of this book I've decided to extend my trip covering Shiloh, Chattanooga and Chickamagua. From the looks of it all within 8 hours travel time from each other, allowing me to spend possibly as much as two days at each on the journey. I'll keep you posted on how it went, but would recommend this book for any planning a trip to one of the 10 sites mentioned.
