Then when he reads other books on Gettysburg he'll draw his own conclusions as to what might have happened and what probably didn't.(come to think of it, that's what I'm still doing after 50 or 60 books on the subject). Then I saw Tom Ryan's post recommending RL Murray's books - www.nyincivilwar.com - Benedum Books - and I have to agree. That would be a great place to expand on a 15 year olds interest in Gettysburg. And if RL is reading this, did you ever resume your line of t-shirts?

Thanks for the suggestion Rich, I've never read it: I'm assuming you
think the writing is at the appropriate level. I'll pass that suggestion
on too.

PS. I was going to ask if the angles in the suggested book had anything
to do with the area just north of the copse of trees, but then an angel
reminded me that we were near Christmas, so I just let it drop... :-)
