Customer Reviews

An Excellent Introduction to the Civil War for Children.

"The Battle of Gettysburg" is a book crammed with photographs and details of one of the Civil War's bloodiest frays. Neil Johnson attended the 125th reenactment of this grand battle and caught nearly all of the sights that make this single site so compelling. The text touches greatly on the historical aspects of the battle but also discusses the reenactment and the people who are so compelled to do military reenactment for a Hobby. This book is for children but adults who like a good picture book won't mind this one. It is a worthy book for any budding history buff's bookcase.
