Biographies and Battlefields

Since childhood I have always been enchanted with famous people, war, and battlefields. As a child I was impressed with many celebrities and often watched their escapades via the cinema. And of course male children loved war pictures during growing up days. As you examine the contents of this book you will find many old and new personalities. Further you will understand the fears, cares and concersn of children here and abroad as we faced severe economic conditions followed by a war that encompassed the entire globe. During my youth I walked many of the battlefields of the Civil War. When time came to name this volume, Biographies and Battlefields seemed the appropriate title. I hope you will enjoy it. Arthur G.
