Marching to Appomattox


Stark, Ken. Marching to Appomattox. G.P. Putnam and Sons: 2009. ISBN: 9780399242120.

This nonfiction book was about the race to end the Civil War between Lee and Grant. It tells about the fighting, the soldiers, and the last battles in the war. The book describes how they fought and what the soldiers were going through in the war. Along with the text, there were very nice paintings that show what the text is saying. I really liked this book because I like learning about the Civil War. I liked it because it had good paintings and did a very good job of telling what happened. At the front of the book, it gave a map that helped show where the battles happened and where the soldiers were. It also gives the dates when things happened, which was nice.
I would recommend this book to kids who like history or kids who want to know more about the end of the Civil War.
