The Aftermath of the Civil War (World Almanac Library of the Civil War)

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6–While series on the Civil War are rather common, this one stands apart by presenting a wide breadth of topics in a concise way. These four titles offer accessible overviews for students just becoming acquainted with this period in American history, and who are challenged to understand the big picture as opposed to the more specific aspects studied later on. All of the books begin with similar introductions summarizing events up to that point and the significance of the part about to be told. The sections that follow provide interesting facts in a quick format that divides the chapters by topical headlines accompanied by several paragraphs of information. This makes it possible even for history haters to get through the material in appropriate blocks of action. Many important individuals are profiled in frequent sidebars, and clear maps and extremely helpful photographs, illustrations, and reproductions are everywhere, many in full color. Also featured are first-person quotes and short paragraphs on additional items of interest such as "Women Soldiers" (Soldier's Life) and Lincoln's "Second Inaugural Address" (Union Victory). Anderson has kept his audience in mind throughout his writing, and students will therefore learn and benefit from these titles.–Andrew Medlar, Chicago Public Library, IL
