Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Civil War Diary is the story of Jethro Creighton and his family living in Southern Illinois at the begining of the American Civil War. It is based on the Newberry Prize winning book Across Five Aprils written by Irene Hunt. Jethro is a ten year old boy who's family is divided by the war with one brother going to fight for the Confederacy, while the others fight for the Union. It is a great story full of insight and makes one think about how to deal with such differences. Being a U. S. History teacher, and also a Civil War historian I find the film most useful in a classroom to support the novel. It is a great story and the film sticks to the book.
