For those of you who don't know me, I am David Fictum, the Gettysburg student who is working on writing a book on the history of Civil War reenacting. In doing research, many have suggested that I look at past issues of the Camp Chase Gazette. Today I went down to the book shop that is located next to the Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg (it had a 50% off sale on all items). In their large Civil War section, they had a shelf of Civil War magazines. In amongst them were 5 issues of the Gazette from various times in the 90s (got them for a little over a dollar a piece. Too bad they only had 5). I have to say, for my research, just those 5 issues are amazingly valuable, and enjoyable, to read. I now have many more leads to follow in terms of research.
So now, I appeal to anyone who has a collection of a lot (if not all) of the Gazettes to please contact me about being allowed to see issues of the Gazette, and make scans of ones that have information that will help my project.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help, and thanks to the reenacting community in general (a lot of you here on this forum included).
