Are all of these happenings mere coincidences? Strange Tales of the Civil War provides readers with such omens, predictions, dreams, and other inexplainable events of the Civil Wa. . It seemed interesting when I read the back of the book, but all the stories in a chapter are pretty much the same. In chapter 5 (or was it 6?) every soldier has a dream that he's going to die, and then they do. Boring! The theme of this book is prophecy. Apparently, strange signs are really important if you want to survive. After all, you don't want to end up like the many, many, many, many people who went through the exact same thing.

This book is a collection of strange stories from the American Civil War. Everything is included here from omens that . Everything is included here from omens that predicted the war, through strange wounds, coincidences, dreams, and on to Lincoln Lore. Overall, I found this to be a fun and interesting book.

The best Civil War novel ever writte. There are strange accents and strange religions and many who do not speak English at all. Nothing like this army has been seen upon the planet.

A few interesting anecdotes and tidbits and stories from the civil war (primarily the battles of Gettysburg, Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and Antietam). Some interesting stories/tales I haven't heard or read before, but nothing super amazing or 'must know' facts.

A book full of strange anomalies and "obscure stories" yet I didn't feel compelled to read the whole book. I thought she'd be pleased with Tim's move "up" to writing a book of curious but true tales of this area in Civil War times. It was entertaining and some things were provocative, but having read a lot of history about the Civil War, I knew much of the context.

In Chapter 7 of Mysterious Tales, Snow takes us to a small island in Boston Harbor called George’s Island, and the forbidding military facility there called Fort Warren. The way Snow describes it, Fort Warren is sort of the Alcatraz of the East Coast: a forbidding island of lost souls surrounded by swift-moving currents so daunting that most prisoners that end up there simply give up their dreams of escape.
