A “witty, entertaining, educational” blend of travel memoir and Civil War history (Scott L. Mingus, Sr, award-winning author of Flames beyond Gettysburg).   Gettysburg is a small, charming city nestled in south central Pennsylvania—but its very name evokes passion and angst, enthusiasm and sadness. For about half the year its streets are mainly empty, its businesses quiet, the weather cold and blustery. For the other months, however, the place teems with hundreds of thousands of visitors, bustling streets and shops, and more than a handful of unique larger-than-life characters. And then, of course, there is the Civil War battle that raged there during the first days of July 1863 at the price of more than 50,000 casualties.   Its monuments and guns and plaques tell the story of the colossal clash of arms and societies, just as its National Cemetery bears silent witness to at least part of the cost of that bloody event. Yet, the author explains, he did not fully appreciate the profound meaning of this mammoth battle, its influential characters (living and dead), its deep meaning to our society, until he visited this hallowed ground in person.   In this travelogue, you can join him at a host of famous and off-the-beaten-path places on the battlefield, explore the historic town as it is today, and learn fascinating facts and stories. Also included are maps and caricatures provided by award-winning cartoonist Tim Hartman.

I am a life long lover of American history, especially civil war history.Gettysburg is only an hour drive from my family home in Maryland and I have visited the National Military Park scores of times.The battlefield has a special significance for our family because our ancestors, each fighting for their respective commands, were fated to be drawn into the largest battle in North America. One of our ancestors fought for the Union and was mortally wounded July 2, 1863 repulsing Pickett’s Charge. His name, James L. Miles is inscribed on the huge Pennsylvania Monument. Several of our ancestors fought for the Independence of the Southern Confederacy and survived the fierce fighting at Gettysburg and went on to survive the war and rebuild the South.I bought this book because I hoped it might add to my knowledge of the battlefield. But I think it was mistakenly listed under history and that did a disservice to its authors. It should be listed under “enjoyable short trips” or something similar. If you have an interest in taking trips to National Parks and you enjoy caricatures of important people from the mid-19th century, I think this world be a fun read. The authors created this with a light heart and it should be enjoyed by the reader.
