Sidebars highlight topics such as the participation of Black and Native American troops and women in combat. Maps, timelines, archival photos, and other images also add to the information. In Battles of the American Civil War, a banner in the page corner lists the date, winner, and casualties for each battle discussed. An "Eyewitness to History" section includes a relevant primary source. A page of "True Statistics" is provided along with a glossary and list of books for further reading. "People to Know" has images and biographical details about figures such as Ely Parker and Rebecca Lee Crumpler.
