4. Good Brother, Bad Brother: The Story of Edwin Booth and John Wilkes Booth - Civil War5. Sarah Morgan: The Civil War Diary Of A Southern Woman - Civil War
6. George and Red - Civil War
7. Winter's Bullet - World War II
8. The Red Cross Girls on the French Firing Line (World War I)
9. Mary Ball Washington: The Untold Story of George Washington's Mother (Revolutionary War)
10. Tree of Freedom (Revolutionary War)
My goal, being 11-20, was therefore not met ... but I'm in the middle of a (almost-600-page) novel partially set during the Vietnam War, so maybe it counts??
Anticipated Level 2: Revolutionary War (11-20 books) but completed Level 5: World War II (41+ books) with 49 books on my Word document for this challenge.
I exceeded my challenge (level 1) and actually finished in Level 2 with 18 books.
