  The Civil War for Kids
By Janis Herbert
Price: $14.95
This compelling activity guide examines the turmoil preceding secession, the first shots fired at Fort Sumter, the fierce battles on land and sea, and the Confederate surrender at Appomattox.
Projects and activities include: making butternut dye for a Rebel uniform; learning drills and signals with flags; baking hardtack; reenacting battles; and making a medicine kit. Fascinating sidebars tell of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad, the adventures of nine-year-old drummer boy Johnny Clem, animal mascots who traveled with the troops, and friendships between enemies. Also included are biographies of important figures from both sides of the war, listings of Civil War sites across the country, Web sites, glossary, and more.
