Industry Reviews
Davis (Don't Know Much About Geography, LJ 9/15/92) states in this new addition to his series that too many Americans understand little or nothing about the Civil War. This may well be true, but his book is not necessarily the solution. On the plus side, Davis offers quotes from the participants of the war and includes chronologies. On the minus side, he takes a simplistic approach to the war's origins (there is nothing regarding the issue of tariffs, for example). He explodes some myths about the Civil War but perpetuates others. While his work does have some merit, a better choice like Curt Anders's Hearts in Conflict (LJ 5/1/94) would provide a superior introduction to the Civil War. Robert A. Curtis, Taylor Memorial P.L., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
