Folks,
I realize everyones "open to buy" dollars are at a premium these days which is why I am loathe to post new release books I have up for sale. This book, however, is pretty extraordinary for those that have a soft place in their heart for the Gettysburg campaign:
Flames Beyond Gettysburg
One of the most strategically important parts of the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign today is virtually unknown to the modern battlefield tramper. In late June, Confederate Brig. Gen. John B. Gordon led a vital expedition through south-central Pennsylvania with a goal of seizing the mile-long Colombia-Wrightsville Bridge over the Susquehanna River. Along the way, Gordon had to deal with hastily recruited and barely trained state emergency militia whose mission was to delay the Rebels for as long as possible and then deny them the use of the river crossing. This book offers the most detailed examination of the Gordon's mission. Chapters include a treatise on the first fighting at Gettysburg (a series of skirmishes on June 26), the subsequent cavalry raid on Hanover Junction, Gordon's triumphal Sunday parade through York, and the skirmish at Wrightsville that doomed the Gordon expedition to failure. The book includes several detailed driving tours and a complete order of battle for both Gordon's Georgians and the Pennsylvanians who opposed them. 624 pages $23.95 plus shipping
Lieutenant Drennan's Letter - A Confederate Officer's Account of the Battle of Champion Hill and the Siege of Vicksburg
A rare Confederate account of the Battle of Champion Hill, the disorganized retreat to Vicksburg, and the ensuing siege of that city. Lt. Drennan's 92-page letter to his wife illustrates the hardships and dangers experienced inside the strangled city of Vicksburg during the long siege. Maps, photos, and annotations enhance this wonderful primary account. 64 pages $7.95 plus shipping.
Both can be found in my ebay listings under nj-skilletlicker
Thanks!
