If you are into the Civil War, or just like visiting Gettysburg, this book is a ‘must have’. We love Gettysburg and the history there. If you’ve ever been, you know how hard it is to get enough of it. You can go there over and over again and still learn something new each time you go. Some of the stories of Gettysburg are absolutely amazing! A very prominent place in our history.
