Battles and Leaders of the Civil War: Retreat with Honor edited by Robert Underwood Johnson and Clarence Clough Buel of the editorial staff of "The Century Magazine" is the fourth and concluding installment of a four volume series written about the Civil War. Being for the most part contributions by Union and Confederate officers, these are their eyewitness accounts of the battles planned and fought during the duraion of the war.

These accounts were part of series that was concieved in 1883 by the editors of the Century Company to give future readers an idea of what went on during this, one of the costliest wars, fought by Americans on their home soil. Accounts found in this volume take us to General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, but there are accounts of the battles leading upto this event that are important to the outcome and final resolution of this conflict. As this volume opens we find an account of the land and sea operations of the Battle of Charleston, South Carolina and Grant's Wilderness Campaign. Sherman's march through the South, starting in Atlanta, also included in this volume, we read about the final actions in Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee.

Anyone wishing to know more about the Civil War... this is a must to own and read at your leisure. You will experience a rich satisfaction of accounts written by the people who fought these battles... battles that pitted brother against brother, North against the South, and ideals agaist ideals. A war that had to be fought to resolve issues that the Founding Fathers knew some day would have to come to pass if they could not settle them. A war for the very existence of the union, otherwise there would never be a United Staes as we know it today.

These are the accounts of men who bravely fought on both sides, giving their all, some the ultimate sacrifice, but settled nonetheless, to make this country what it is today. Excellent history for all to read, The Battles and Leaders of the Civil War: Volume one, "The Opening Battles." Volume two: "The Struggle Intensifies." Volume three: "The Tide Shifts." Volume four: "Retreat with Honor." you will NOT be disappointed.

I read this book in the 60's shortly after it was published and loved it. It was full of adventure, and was very enjoyable as a young person (9-14 years of age). Full of villians, the romance of gold mining in the old west at the turn of the century, and written very well from a young man's point of view, struggling with coming of age.

Using this book has helped me to write a better research paper and has helped me in the research process.

I will admit, it doesn't make for good bed-time reading (I've tried!), but it does give great detail from start to finish. I would suggest this book to any student, regardless of your major/minor, or career path.

Beautifully written and illustrated, my daughter (3 years)asks me to read this one again and again.

THIS IS A MOST EXHAUSTING SERIES OF BOOKS. The author and his crew spent hours upon hours editing all of Stevenson's letter and correspondence. The entire set of 6 books is a MUST for all Stevenson scholars.

This book does a nice job of presenting justification for clinical integration, and goes further to offer practical guidelines. In combination with Searight's book, it would make a good course on the topic.

Reading this book was like living through her experiences. I could not put the book down. What a wonderful author to bring her experiences to life. It will make you cry to wonder why so many behind locked doors have to go thorugh what they do. I would reccomend this book to anyone who believes that Jesus is always with you and will guide you through any obstacle. This book has helped me understand the minds of some people who have ever been in a psychiatric ward. I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.

True stories of driving for the Big Dog along Route 66. Written in a freindly, come-on-along style that makes it a pleasure to travel the road with Howard Suttle. Humor, tragedy and a love of the road are reflected in each of the stories. For anyone who ever wanted to drive a bus, or take a cross-country trip while allowing someone else to do the driving this is a must read.

She enjoyed it so much that she took it to school and asked her teacher to read it to the class. :-)
