- Historical Fiction
My book consists of four parts. It is 432 pages in length and contains current photographs of historical landmarks (mostly the houses of where the character's lived, as they are today).
This book is for those who are experts, those who are learning about it for the first time, and those whose knowledge is somewhere in between. The book also includes some colorful maps, which show the battlefield actions during July 1-3, 1863.
It is written in the style of historical fiction, where most of the characters are real people (as I mentioned before) who lived through the battle. A few are fictional characters I added to create additional drama. I researched these characters to understand what they saw and did, when they did it during the timeline of the book, and then imagined myself standing next to them, experiencing what they experienced, and hearing them talk about it. My goal was to bring them to "life" through the use of much dialog, which is the main way the book is written. It is very historically accurate as I worked with the Adams County Historical Society in Gettysburg, and with the Guided Historic Walking Tours also located in Gettysburg. It is a fun read and I hope you enjoy it, as most have done who have already read it.

Store description
We are a generalist bookseller who has been selling online since 2003. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best books at the best prices. As a used and antiquarian seller all of our copies are unique and our stock is limited by our ability to source new material from a variety of venues. We strive to describe our books as accurately as possible and have embarked on a policy of adding at least one photograph for each new listing added. Older entries in our database may not include a picture, if this is so please request one and we will gladly send it to you via email.…
