A refreshing look at history, Civil War Tales brings to life long-ago forgotten human interest stories from the past. Incredible tales of fortitude await to be re-discovered as the sons of Lycoming County and north-central Pennsylvania participated in most of the great events of that war. Illustrating that role, over 100 ‘tales’ are recorded herein. Most stories are about two paragraphs or two pages in length. Many accounts were chosen for their unusual character – others for their historic interest. A number of narratives are from original research by the author, while other tales were uncovered in period newspapers and published sources. No matter your level of expertise in history, everyone will find something interesting in Civil War Tales. The author has been researching units from north-central Pennsylvania for over thirty-five years. This book is a product of those endless hours expended in pursuit of their story – a remarkable tale of courage and sacrifice.   [ld]
