Review
Much of the story of Civil War soldiers in prisoner of war camps and the history of the Mississippi was fascinating and I learned more about steamboats, the CIvil War, and river travel than I knew before reading. That being said, the writing was confusing in parts and the illustrations and images weren't too exciting, such as travel logs and ship manifests. I don't think Sinking the Sultana would captivate student readers, though it might be a helpful information source for student researchers.
Overall Book Score: good
