The War Between the States: Study Guide (John J. Dwyer)
$13.75Few events in America’s history have been as influential – or as complicated – as the bloody war between our Southern and Northern states.

The battles are described in detail and strategic context, depicting their effect on soldiers and civilians alike. At the war’s conclusion, there were further changes to society, attitudes, and legislation.

Two Little Confederates (Thomas Nelson Page)
$10.95The boys dubbed “two little confederates” lived in Oakland, Virginia. It was not a handsome village, as modern views are, but down in Old Virginia it passed as one of the best plantations in that region. The boys thought it was the greatest place in the world!
It was quite secluded and lay right between two of the county roads, the Court-house Road on one side and the Great Mountain Road on the other. The boys were Frank and Willy. Their mother called them her “little men”, with much pride; but Lucy Ann, who was taken into the home to help care for them, always coupled their names together and just called them “Frank n Willy.”
These read as unforgettable tales from one of the South’s greatest 19th-century story-tellers; a favorite with children since its original publication in 1888. Two boys, Willie and Frank, are trapped between Union and Confederate lines in war-torn Virginia. The secrets they must keep and the dangers they confront are fascinating to all readers. Highly authentic from a man who lived his boyhood during those times.

A Holy Baptism of Fire & Blood (James P. Byrd)
$13.75No book was more important to the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation’s most read and respected book. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgment, of sacred history and sacrifice.
When Americans argued over the issues that divided them — slavery, secession, patriotism, authority, white supremacy, and violence — the Bible was the book they most often invoked.
