Connect with our past by exploring
the living roots of American history.

Walk the fields. Touch the soil.
Hear the whispers of the ghosts of those
who fought for cause and country.

Discover hallowed ground.
The Civil War defined America as we know it. The lasting effects of the great conflict are
still felt today and its causes and merits will be debated for generations. Whether viewed
as a war for slavery or a war of aggression, a war for union or a second American
Revolution, much of what we are as a nation can be tied directly to the Civil War.















This site, my book, and my live presentations are all designed to:
  • Help travelers explore the most important sites related to the Civil War easily and
    efficiently, whether famous or obscure
  • Educate people about the value and the rewards of historic travel
  • Promote the preservation of battlefields and historic sites through Civil War
    tourism and activism

If you have any comments or suggestions, or if there is any way that I can help you in
your journey, please use my contact page to let me know. I wish you all happy and safe
travels, and I look forward to swapping stories with you.

The best way to appreciate
history is to experience it. No
matter how many books or
maps one studies, nothing can
compare to seeing the real
thing. I have visited hundreds of
sites related to the Civil War
while working on my Civil War
Road Trip books, and I want to
help you get as much out of
your travels as possible.
