Book
The Civil War : strange & fascinating facts / by Burke Davis ; drawings by Raymond Houhlihan.
The author provides fresh insight into the minds of, among others, Robert E. Lee, who liked to have his feet tickled when he read aloud to his children, and into the curious world of Stonewall Jackson, who 'was comfortable only when in a bolt upright position, when his organs held naturally on atop another.'.
