I just ordered two books by Brian Gottfried, Roads to Gettysburg: Lee's Invasion of the North, 1863 and The Maps of Gettysburg: The Gettysburg Campaign, June 3 - July 13, 1863 both to be delivered by Amazon when the latter is released next month (if delivered together I don't have to pay shipping!) .. I am curious if anyone has the former, it was published in 2002, I didn't notice it when I was preparing for my Gettysburg class in April .. It looks like both would be very helpful, so I will be adding them to my already large collection of  
  "Gettysburg books" .. I plan to teach the Gettysburg class again sometime .. the community college coordinator wanted me to teach something "different" this fall, so I am putting together a course on West Virginia in the Civil War .. like the Gettysburg course, I was looking for a subject that might be of interest to folks here in southwestern Pennsylvania - Gettysburg was of course an obvious choice, and West Va is our next door neighbor .. I also think a course on the river war might be interesting especially since several gunboats were built right here on our local rivers .. anyway, I ran across these Gottfried books while looking for WV material (comparatively not too much on WV, I have I think 8 specific WV books so far) .. I already have Gottfried's "Brigades" book and it is a good one .. Tom Gilbert
