Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War is a much plumbed area of scholarship, so much so that at times it seems there is no further work to be done in the field. However, the experience of children and youth during that tumultuous time remains a relatively unexplored facet of the conflict. Children and Youth during the Civil War Era seeks a deeper investigation into the historical record by and giving voice and context to their struggles and victories during this critical period in American history. Prominent historians and rising scholars explore issues important to both the Civil War era and to the history of children and youth, including the experience of orphans, drummer boys, and young soldiers on the front lines, and even the impact of the war on the games children played in this collection. Each essay places the history of children and youth in the context of the sectional conflict, while in turn shedding new light on the sectional conflict by viewing it through the lens of children and youth. A much needed, multi-faceted historical account, Children and Youth during the Civil War Era touches on some of the most important historiographical issues with which historians of children and youth and of the Civil War home front have grappled over the last few years.

Book excerpt: If you're a Southern parent who's fed up with the Yankee myths, distortions, lies, and anti-South propaganda your child is being taught at school about the Civil War, then "Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe" is for you. Award-winning author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook has created an incomparable guide specifically for Southern children, one that teaches them the Truth about Lincoln's War - from the South's perspective! Written for ages 8-12 (grades 2-6), the book is conveniently divided into 6 sections and 37 chapters, and covers all of the salient facts and events of the War. Included are chapters on the causes that led up to the conflict, the real origins of American slavery, the truth about Southern slavery, the secession of the Southern states, descriptions of significant battles, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln's criminal behavior, black Confederates, Robert E. Lee's surrender, the everyday life of a Confederate soldier, and Confederate weaponry. Seabrook also provides detailed information on the many suppressed elements of the War, including discussions on the Constitution, politics, and American history, covering "politically incorrect" facts that your child will never hear in school. Profusely illustrated, this children's version of Seabrook's blockbuster, "Everything You Were Taught About the Civil Is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!," explodes the Northern fairy tales that were created to hide the Truth about the War for Southern Independence and the atrocities committed by the Union. "Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe: A Southern Children's Guide to the Civil War," the result of some 20 years of study and research, will not only help educate your youngsters about the real Civil War, it will also teach them about the traditional values that have always been so important here in Dixie: love of God, country, and family, respect for our Southern heritage, pride in our Confederate history, and a reverence for our Southern ancestors. Adults will benefit from reading Seabrook's South-friendly book as well, especially non-Southerners who are interested in learning more about the Southern view of Lincoln's War. Includes a glossary, index, and bibliography. Perfect for homeschooling families. "Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe" is destined to become a standard in American literature.
