Kentucky's Civil War 1861-1865 includes accounts of the 11 major Civil War battles in Kentucky, stories of long forgotten skirmishes, and sketches of many leaders and personalities. Read how two future Presidents, Ulysses S. Grant and James A. Garfield, first found fame in Kentucky and how two native born sons, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, took such divergent paths in reaching the pinnacles of power. Three different cities (Frankfort, Bowling Green, and Russellville) enjoyed the spotlight as the capital of the Confederacy in Kentucky. The importance of railroads and the Cumberland Gap are explained, as well as the importance of women to the war effort on both sides of the conflict.

The war's newsmakers were plentiful, including the Breckinridges of Kentucky, Confederate Governors George Johnson and Richard Hawes, Kentucky Governor Beriah Magoffin, Union General William "Bull" Nelson, Union Colonel Frank Lane Wolford, and Confederate Generals Lloyd Tilghman and John Bell Hood. Read about Patrick "Stonewall of the West" Cleburne, Confederate Guerilla William Clarke Quantrill and the hanging of "Sue" Mundy.

The book also has a 4-color Civil War map which provides detailed information on battles and historic sites.
