<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This book provides details for over 200 different sites in Gettysburg National Park. More than 270 color photographs and maps.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>If you didn't sleep through U.S. history class, you've heard of Pickett's Charge. If you've seen the movie <i>Gettysburg</i>, you're familiar with Little Round Top. If you've been to the battlefield, you've seen the Wheatfield. But do you know about the ten or so Confederates buried by accident in Gettysburg National Cemetery? Or about the Union general whose embezzling ways kept his bust from being displayed on his brigade's memorial? Or how that same embezzling general, when asked why he had no monument at Gettysburg, could rightly reply, "Why, hell, the whole battlefield is my monument"? Authors James and Suzanne Gindlesperger have visited Gettysburg an average of five times annually over the past twenty years. <em>So You Think You Know Gettysburg?</em> shows why they find it a place not only of horrible carnage and remarkable bravery but endless fascination. Who, or what, was Penelope? Whose dog is depicted on the Eleventh Pennsylvania Monument, and why? What are the Curious Rocks? Why does Gettysburg have two markers for the battle's first shot, and why are they in different locations? The plentiful maps, the nearly 200 site descriptions, and the 270-plus color photos in <em>So You Think You Know Gettysburg?</em> will answer questions you didn't even know you had about America's greatest battlefield.</p> <p>James and Suzanne Gindlesperger are the authors of <em>So You Think You Know Gettysburg?</em>, which was the bronze winner in the travel guide category for ForeWord Reviews' Book of the Year Award in 2010. James is a "Friend of the Field" at Gettysburg and the author of three books about the Civil War: <em>Escape from Libby Prison</em>, <em>Seed Corn of the Confederacy</em>, and <em>Fire on the Water</em>. Suzanne is the cofounder of Pennwriters, a professional organization of published and aspiring authors. The couple lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.</p> <p>"This is not a book that fits into one slot easily. This is a book wearing many hats . . . defying a quick or easy description. Part guidebook, part trivia quiz, and part history with a series of fine color photos . . . a well-organized, very attractive, fun book . . .
