Post subject: | Top 10 Gettysburg Books |
[url="http://www.brettschulte.net/CWBlog/best-civil-war-books/top-10-gettysburg-books-civil-war-bloggers/"]Ten Civil War bloggers (including me) are listing their own top 10 Gettysburg books[/url] over the course of the three day anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The idea is to take these lists and combine them into one comprehensive list which will serve as a nice "go to page" for those looking to get into the study of the Battle of Gettysburg. Feel free to add your own Top 10 Gettysburg books in the comments section here and at the link provided! The bloggers participating include: Ethan Rafuse of Civil Warriors Mark Grimsley of Civil Warriors Eric Wittenberg of Rantings of a Civil War Historian Drew Wagenhoffer of Civil War Books and Authors John Hoptak of The 48th Pennsylvania Infantry/Civil War Musings Harry Smeltzer of Bull Runnings Craig Swain of To the Sound of the Guns Nick Kurtz of Battlefield Wanderings Chris Wehner of Blog 4 History Brett Schulte of TOCWOC - A Civil War Blog Brett S. ------- TOCWOC Blog: http://www.brettschulte.net/CWBlog/ TOCWOC Feedburner Feed: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TOCWOC My Civil War Books: http://www.brettschulte.net/ACWBooks |
