Back cover: The Civil War has been called the greatest war in American history. Among all the wars fought by Americans, it holds the distinction of being the bloodiest one fought on American soil. Basic information about the war is widely known, but what about these interesting facts? Stonewall Jackson so rarely drew his sword that when he finally raised it to rally him men, it was rusted in place. The first civilian casualty of the war was shot as she lay in her own bed. The public was notified of war news by the ringing of church bells. The last active army soldier who had fought in the civil War joined when he was only 10 years old.
