    “ This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in American History! It is the story of four days at Gettysburg, written with such skill that the reader is placed right in the battle. The detail, research and presentation remain in my mind since I read this book, nearly 20 years ago. It would be an excellent "Must Read" for students. A marvel at telling the story of one of our nation's great, decisive battles that changed our country forever.”
