Excellent Tour Guide

Mr. Miles's book is one of the most complete history/tour guides of the Civil War's first years in the East I have ever read/used. Not only does he cover the major battles, but he takes you off the beaten track to sites ordinarily passed over. His histories of the battles and leaders are informative and his guides to the battlefields are very thorough. The only things keeping the book from getting five stars are a few slight inaccuracies in directions to sites and a couple of small factual errors. All of these errors are relatively minor, and only diehard battlefield trampers like myself will even notice them.
