Bird's Eye View of the Civil War in Loudon County and Campbell's Station, TN : A Book for Children

The Civil War battles scared the feathers off the birds as well as frightened the people who lived in the path of the fighting in Loudon County and on the way to Campbell's Station. Don Dickinson has completed a book for children about the Civil War from the view of two crows, Big Crow and Little Crow, who watch the action from above. The book is entitled "A Bird's Eye View of the Civil War in Loudon County and Campbell's Station." Big Crow tells Little Crow stories of the War that were told to him by his grandparents, who were told to them by their grandparents, and so on.The stories trace the journey of the Union and Confederate soldiers in Loudon County and at Campbell's Station as they slosh through the rain and mud, with holes in their shoes, and with growling stomachs, looking for anything to eat while the people of the area tried to hide their belongings from both armies. Little Crow is excited about seeing the shooting -- the more the better, but as the stories continue, he begins to understand the suffering the solders encountered and the impact the War had on people of the area.Dickinson, Donald J. is the author of 'Bird's Eye View of the Civil War in Loudon County and Campbell's Station, TN : A Book for Children', published 2003 under ISBN 9780963795137 and ISBN 0963795139.
