Voices from the American Civil War

Immerse your students in these 27 gripping accounts of men, women, and children-from the North and the South-who lived, fought, and survived the Civil War. Following the same format as Voices of the American Revolution, nationally acclaimed author and storyteller Kendall Haven takes you on a journey through the Civil War, giving students a well-rounded understanding of this four-year upheaval. All characters in the book are real, and the stories are historically accurate. Followed by a variety of learning extensions-objective questions, research projects, hands-on learning activities, and open-ended "points to ponder" for discussion-all stories complement the history curriculum and support National History Standards.

KENDALL HAVEN is a nationally recognized master storyteller and the author of numerous books, including Marvels of Math, Write Right! , and Close Encounters with Deadly Dangers. A former research scientist, he is based in Fulton, California.
