Customer Reviews

Great information and well written!

Short and sweet: I used this book to help write a research paper on Joshua L. Chamberlain's action on Little Round Top, and I recieved so much more information. Great log of information and well written. I recomend it to anyone weary about the Battle of Gettysburg.

very informative

Well written and well illustrated, a nice book to have for studying this battle. A good book to have for anyone interested in the Civil war.

A good battlefield companion

Carl Smith always does a nice job in researching his material. I have studied the battle of Gettysburg in-depth. This would not be a good book for a beginning researcher, but a good companion for a trip to Gettysburg. Overall, the book gave great detail. Only a few minor things were left out. This is one of the better books currently on the market for study of the Battle of Gettysburg. I do recommend it.

BUY THE BOOK

If you want a clear and concise book about the battle of Gettysburg... BUY THE BOOK, I have been to the battlefield and this book really puts everything into prespective. I like the photos and the maps. I especially like the original art work and the detailed order of battle. If you want boring, go to the museum at the battlefield. If you want information that anyone can use. BUY THE BOOK.

great book to introduce readers to civil war battles

This book is perhaps one of the few written about the great civil war battle that I found provided details without boring me to tears! The writer has a very readable style that's easy to follow. The illustrations, etc. were clear and descriptions concise. This is an excellent book to enhance the reader's knowledge and interest in civil war battles. I look forward to more of his books.
