Great Civil War Projects You Can Build Yourself offers a solid historical overview of the Civil War, and also brings into sharp focus the inventions and innovations prompted by the War. Each activity is introduced with background information about the Civil War as it relates to the specific project, ranging from the invention of the first periscope, to making a better outdoor shelter, to sewing quilt patterns said to have been signals on the Underground Railroad. Most of the building can be done using simple household supplies, and the result is a working model of the original invention. Archival photography, detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and templates for each project are interspersed with historical facts, biographies, anecdotes, and trivia about the real-life models, offering kids and adults alike a hands-on way to experience the history and innovations that were sparked by the Civil War.
