Civil War Sidequests (7 books)

Historical Nonfiction about lesser-known stories from the American Civil War (and Antebellum & Reconstruction). Have to be about more obscure people, places, and events--so no books about John Brown, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, John Wilkes Booth, etc, etc.
