Review: The Long Road to Gettysburg

The Long Road to Gettysburg by Jim Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful younger readers Civil War non-fiction, it may have just been the best I read, scratch that, it was the best I read. A lot of Civil War non fiction for the younger audience will chop bits out so it isn't to gory, this book doesn't do that. You can't have an accurate Civil War non fiction and take out all of the gory stuff, the Civil War was simply a very gory time. I thought the photos fit in the book nicely, and included photos I have never seen of the war before (and I am a very avid Civil War enthusiast). I also thought the quotes spoken by men actually at the battle were a very good addition. All in all, this is a great book for any Civil War enthusiast, young or old, It won't bore you.
