History Matters published our first book, Civil War Leaders, in the summer of 2005. We hope that this book will be sold at hundreds of historical sites and related shops. Take a look at the cover or a sample page. You can also visit one of the 75 places that sell our books.

This book was begun by artist Jared Frederick at the end of his freshman year in high school. He has meticulously researched each leader and ensures the book's accuracy. Each personality in this book includes a picture to color and a detailed summary about what that person achieved before, during, and after the Civil War. In June 2006, More Civil War Leaders, a sequel, was released.

Both forty page books also contain informative glossaries, so that younger readers will have a better understanding of some historical terms in the book. Please click on our upcoming books page to learn more about future projects. Historic Pennsylvania is the next to be released.

Because of our commitment to saving historical sites, a portion of the profits from the sales of this book will be donated to the Civil War Preservation Trust.
