Civil War Confederate Leaders

The fight that split the United States also split the United States military, and this book tells the biographies of officers who chose to leave the U.S. Army to fight for their home states in the Confederacy. Chester the Crab tells the stories of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and the men who put into action Lee's daring battlefield plans: Stonewall Jackson, James Longstreet, JEB Stuart, and John Singleton Mosby. These stories include descriptions of the Battle of Chickamauga, Jackson's Valley Campaign, and the daring raids across "Mosby's Confederacy." This colorful graphic novel will excite reluctant readers, prepare students for standardized tests in history, and help homeschooling parents!
