(4) K-3 Civil War Library series. Quotes, anecdotes, and historical tidbits (origin of the rebel yell) enliven the discussion of states' rights, slavery, and the preservation of the Union in these Civil War primers. Maps, sidebars, and color and black-and-white illustrations adorn sepia pages. Lincoln includes a facsimile (too small to be read) of the Emancipation Proclamation, and illustrations in this volume are particularly grainy. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Civil War Library titles: The American Civil War, The Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and Lincoln, Slavery, and the Emancipation Proclamation.
