About the author
John Perritano is the author of "The Ghosts of Civil War Soldiers," published by PowerKids Press, a children's nonfiction title that surveys reported ghost sightings and ghostly battle sounds associated with major American Civil War battlefields. The book frames these accounts within the historical context of the war itself, noting the scale of human loss and the emotional weight of a conflict that divided neighbors and families, and uses that history to explain why so many battlefield hauntings have been reported since. Written for a young audience as part of a nonfiction series on ghost lore, it presents collected stories rather than investigative or academic analysis. The catalogue lists no other titles under this name and no independent biographical information, so the book itself, aimed at school-age readers interested in American history and ghost stories, is the primary evidence of Perritano's work as a children's nonfiction writer.
