The Encyclopedia of Battles in North America is a useful reference tool for students and teachers of North American military history. The time period covered in this book is 1517 (the Battle of Champoton in Mexico during the Spanish Conquest) to 1916 (the Battle of Parral in Mexico during the border raids of the Mexican Revolution). The 350 entries are arranged alphabetically. Each entry presents the date, location, war or conflict, a brief narrative of the actual fighting, leaders, outcome, number of casualties, and a list of books for further reading. Fifty maps that detail sites and paths of fighting are also included. The appendices include an alphabetical list of battles, a chronological list of battles, a list of battles by war, battlefield sites in alphabetical order, and battlefield sites listed by region. A glossary of military terms, an extensive bibliography, and index are also featured. If you teach the American Revolution, the Civil War, or any other conflict that took place in North America between 1517 and 1916 you definitely want this book on your shelf.
