Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the
Unfinished Civil War by Tony Horwitz
"In 1965, a century after Appomattox, the Civil War began for me at a musty apartment in New Haven, Connecticut."

Appropriately, it was Tony's grandfather that excited his interest in the Civil War. However, his grandparents emigrated from Europe, so he didn't have any family who was in this country at the time. Gives him a fairly unique perspective.
