Personal Review: The Boys War: Confederate and Union
Soldiers Talk About the Civil War by Jim Murphy
Jim Murphy has given us a wonderful account of the Civil War with
emphasis on the role the young soldier (teen and pre-teen) played in that
conflict. The text is quite understandable and the illustrations, black and
white photo of the Civil War, make this a valuable and interesting tool in
sparking an interest in the young reader. The author uses many first hand
accounts and has done a very good job with his research. The writing is
not of the dry variety and seems to be able to hold the youner readers

interest while still filling his or her head with many interesting and important
facts. Highly recommend this one.
