What’s the truth about Robert E. Lee’s United States citizenship? What happens when only one of conjoined twin brothers are drafted?

Bob O’Connor, a 1963 Dixon High School grad, touches on those quick facts in his latest book, “Little-Known Facts About the American Civil War.”

He also published a compilation of diaries from that era, from regular soldiers to commanding generals, in: “Excerpts of Diaries of Civil War Soldiers.”

Each book sells for $8.95. They are available at the author’s website at www.boboconnorbooks.com or can be purchased from Books on First in Dixon.
