This graphic novel is a series of short stories that combine to tell the story of the Civil War mostly through the viewpoint of a father and son serving under Stonewall Jackson. It's an incredibly readable history volume with real facts except for the fictional father & son. Different presentations are used throughout from single pages of text to maps to frames of comics with only narrative to full comic style with speech bubbles. Interspersed between the story of the adventures of Ty and his father as they join the Confederate Army and go off to war are shorter stories of famous people (ie Custer), other events (ie an ironclad) and letters home from various soldiers in the field. This is a harsh look at war, death, disease, depression, desertion. While there are a few episodes from the "Federalist" side, the book decidedly shows the war from the "successionist" point of view and makes a point of making slavery *not* the point of the war for the average volunteer farmer or mountain boy who signed up. Also of interest are one-page history lessons on such topics as certain guns in use, the birth of the sniper, certain famous people, battles, and campaigns. I enjoy reading about the Civil War, especially of the South, and fully enjoyed this. It's not in-depth but gives a good overview for a student or is simply entertaining and informative for any age.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History brought to life in a well done way By Wayne A McCoy 'Civil War Adventures, Book One' is a series of illustrated retellings of stories from the Civil War. I enjoyed it quite a bit.The stories are told in no particular order. The book provides a timeline of the war and shows when the stories take place there. There are stories of snipers and farmboys and fathers who find themselves in the path of war. There are letters to loved ones. We meet Mosby who made a famous raid behind enemy lines. We meet deserters who only want to get home to sick family and failing crops. We meet Darnel Dingus who seems to have managed to make it into a famous painting for his lack of brains.Many of the stories are prefaced with brief information. It seems like the stories are more from the Confederacy side of things, but I think a lot of the experiences were not uncommon. It feels a bit like these were cut out of a larger work and pasted back in a different order. It gives some of the stories a strange or abrupt ending, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. I loved the art. It's very detailed and at times has a bit of caricature feel, but it brings everything to life very well.I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Recommend as a supplement to any history classroom or personal library By April Damon “Civil War Adventure”, by Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz, is a graphic novel about the Civil War that does exactly what you want this type of book to do--bring history alive for the reader. Through the use of both short and long stories, the novel personalizes the war by focusing on the plight of the everyday soldier and their families. There are also some interesting looks at battlefield tactics on land and on the water that will introduce many readers to Civil War lore that they may never have learned in school before now. I found myself drawn in with the first story, “A Choice of Targets”, which immediately humanized the conflict and never let me forget that every tale of glory was another man’s death and every death was a choice between two men. I also want to point out that the illustrations by Gary Kwapisz are gritty but poignant. The entire novel is in black and white but that only highlights the grey areas of the conflicts, the causes, and the results of the war.*Recommend, as a teacher, for supplemental use in the classroom: grades 6 and up*Some spelling errors present in the e-copy outside of history usage*Received an e-copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
