This is book one of a three book set. The Civil War, a narrative, Fort Sumter to Perryville, by Shelby Foote. This is a thick paperback with 840 pages. Filled with maps as to the battles of the war from 1862-1864. The book is well written and understandable as to the battle movement in the field and the movement of generals, and armies.

Comprehension Questions I Survived - The Children's Blizzard, 1888 Written by: Lauren Tarshis This comprehension question packet is designed to challenge your readers with higher order thinking questions. The questions are specifically designed so students will have to support their answers by finding evidence in the text.
