In the Civil War, the most violent war that America has ever experienced, brothers fought against brothers and millions of lives were changed forever. In this book you'll find seven stories of real people whose important acts made them a part of history.

You'll go full speed ahead into Mobile Bay at the side of Admiral David Farragut.

You'll be there at Lincoln's second inaugural, and with Generals Grant and Lee when they sign the surrender ending the war!
