The Complete Civil War Road Trip Guide is the first guidebook to highlight every major campaign of the Civil War. Author Michael Weeks documents more than 500 sites, helping travelers better understand this period in American history and the landmarks that remain. Weeks plots out ten multi-day itineraries, taking you from the great battlefields of Gettysburg, Manassas, and Antietam to relatively unknown sites in places as far flung as Vermont and New Mexico. Weeks also highlights the key figures and events in each theater of the war-covering everything from the Missouri Compromise to manumission, from Fort Sumter to Appomattox-providing context for the battle sites, museums, and countless other attractions featured in the book. With detailed directions to each site and lodging suggestions along the way, these tours enable you to personally tailor each trip to your interests. No diehard Civil War buff or history fan will want to be without this guide. Book jacket.
