I’m off to pick up Scott L. Mingus’ work on your recommendation aand the Bachelder Papers.

Thanks!

And it’s being taken out and used – we’ve been hearing how dozens of folks were seen out on the battlefield that past couple days with it. One fellow told us how we had just gone out with the book to find the David Acheson burial rock, and met another fellow on the way out who also had the book looking to find it.

Really cool.

Thanks for the list.

There are so many good books, you almost need to break it down into categories. For instance, while it would not make my adult list, McKinley Cantor’s Gettysburg is a great children’s book. And while Coddington’s study is a must read, it’s not a page turner like Harry Pfanz’s studies, which describe events on the regimental level and includes eyewitness accounts within the narrative. My list of favorites on the battle proper, as opposed to the advance and retreat, includes Pfanz’s three books, Martin’s Day 1, Morning at Willoughby Run, Stone’s Brigade and the Fight for McPherson’s Farm, Protecting the Flank, Battle Between the Farm Lanes, The Maps of Gettysburg and Gettysburg’s Bloody Wheatfield. Still trying to get my hands on Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions which, if anything like One Continuous Fight and Plenty of Blame, would probably be on my list.
