Excellent for new and established civil war "junkies"

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

This was the second book I read on the subject of the civil war. The personal perspective added to my endless interest. There is little to add to what has been said other than this is a DO NOT MISS READ! Absolutely READ THIS BOOK! I could not put this book down when I read it...

An up-close and personal a view of America's deadliest war

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

35 Days To Gettysburg: The Campaign Diaries Of Two American Enemies by Civil War enthusiast Mark Nesbitt features the daily journal entries of two ordinary soldiers caught up in the American Civil War: Thomas Lewis Ware, a Confederate from rural Georgia; and Franklin Horner, a Union soldier from Pennsylvania coal land. Their various perspectives and recorded experiences (sometimes conflicting, sometimes all too parallel), lead up to one of the bloodiest battles in the entire four year conflict, are vividly recounted with meticulous notes and a comprehensive index in this truly fascinating compilation. 35 Days To Gettysburg is a superbly presented primary source offering an up-close and personal a view of America's deadliest war, and a truly welcome and much appreciated contribution to the growing library of American Civil War studies.
