An engaging collection of more than 500 startling facts, anecdotes and other small jottings about America's War Between the States. Arranged roughly in chronological order, with chapters for pre-war and post-war and the five war years, these items are not only amusing and entertaining, but give considerable insight into many of the key personalities of the war.
Excellent book for those times when a few minutes read is all you need. A great Bathroom Book! Really, interesting facts and stories from many points of view about the fascinating Civil War. The tragedy of war is there, but many of Nofi's "Odd-and-Ends" will bring smiles as well. Bought it years ago and still find it enjoyable to pick up and read from time to time.
