Summary of tony horwitz's confederates in the attic

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began to read aloud to my son from a ten-volume collection called The Photographic History of the Civil War. I learned about palindromes from the Southern sea captain Raphael Semmes. I began to match Brady's still-deaths with the curt stutter of farm roads and rocks. #2 I had always been a Civil War bore, but when I returned to America after nine years abroad, I found that people were becoming obsessed with the history of the Civil War. #3 Americans were still obsessed with the Civil War, and this passion was reflected in the media, in the movies, and in the theme park being built beside the Manassas battlefield. #4 I spent the weekend with the re-enactors, and while I can't explain my behavior, I was just a normal guy sitting in a house in Virginia looking at pictures of long-dead Confederates.
