This collection of tales focuses on the restless souls left in the wake of the War Between the States. Roberts gathers history from both sides of the lines, from Georgia to New York to Texas, and presents it from viewpoints both historical and present. By blending her passion for ghost stories with her Southern heritage, Roberts crafts a book which haunts the reader in the same way the Civil War haunts the memory of the United States.
Product Description
A collection of tales of the blue and gray that enable the reader to visit famous Civil War battle sites.

I just finished watching 1951s "The Tall Target" about an assassination plot on the life of Abram Lincoln aboard a moving train. Abram Lincoln and the train got me thinking about a story I had once read. And then I remembered it. It was from Nancy Roberts' "Civil War Ghost Stories & Legends." I pulled the book from the shelf and there it was. Being a Civil War buff I bought this book several years ago attracted and intrigued by the title. It had never occurred to me that with all the horrors, suffering and death on America's battlefields during the Civil War that the emergence of ghosts and related supernatural haunts would come to surface. The particular story that I remember most strikingly was "The Night Train Passes." It is all about the reappearance of Abram Lincoln's funeral train. It is spooky. This entire book is spooky. There is something about the images of the Civil War that makes this collection of stories so intriguing, personally haunting yet poignant. I highly recommend this book.

Found this book to be interesting with the ability to hold ones attention. In addition, it was thought provoking and the material supports many held beliefs regarding the civil war.

I have done vast research on Civil War Battlefields and sites. I have seen many Ghostly Spirits on Va. Battlefields also at Gettysburg ,PA. They really do exsist. While exciting to see, it is also scary.This was a good book to read.
