Review:

"A badly needed guide to all the major Civil War sites in Virginia, compiled and written by the greatest living authority on the conflict of 1861-65. James I. Robertson Jr., has put together a handy and scholarly volume, filled with fascinating and little-known facts, that will cause all Civil War buffs to rejoice.

Anyone contemplating a tour of the many Civil War sites in the Commonwealth will find Civil War Sites in Virginia enormously helpful both as an advance planning aid and a guide during the tour. Users will find many occasions to be grateful for such an excellent work.
