Contemporary Civil War scholarship has brought to light the important roles certain ethnic groups played during that tumultuous time in our nation's history. The axiom that the winners of wars write the histories is especially valid in regard to the story of the Irish who fought for the Confederacy from 1861–1865. Throughout the course of the Civil War; Irish Confederates made invaluable contributions to all aspects of the war effort. Yet; the Irish have largely been the forgotten soldiers of the South. In Irish Confederates: The Civil War's Forgotten Soldiers; Tucker illuminates these overlooked participants.

Someone complained because it was organized by color; but that is just exactly how we use it: "It's brown! Look at the brown ones!" If you are looking for a detailed; scientific guide; keep scrolling; but if you are an average family looking for something to use with your backyard feeder; get this one!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Guide for back-yard birders!By Julie BlountThis Birds of Oklahoma book is a compact and colorful book. It is divided by bird color; so if you see a red bird you can look under the red tab and find your bird! I leave it on my kitchen table with a pair of binoculars nearby; and I've already identified several species of birds. My son took an ornithology (study of birds) class at college; and he was surprised at how well this book is organized and how nice this book is. He was going to buy me a book about bird identification for Christmas; but after he saw this book; he changed his mind.5/25/2016 update: My son continued to say how much he liked my Birds of Oklahoma book to the point that I got him his own copy. Some of the pictures are slightly different in his edition of this book; but most if not all of the information is the same.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love the photographs and informationBy Mark's MomThe photographs in this book are fantastic. Information might be a bit casual for an ornithologist; but I found it easy to understand. I bought two copies - one for myself and one for children of a dear friend to whom I gave a bird feeder; seed and suet. This is the first bird book that indicated the male and the female Blue Jays look the same. No wonder I have not been able to discern a difference between them. I think it is a great book that illustrates the birds common to Oklahoma.
