GDG- Brian Gottfried's books

[Tom Ryan]

<<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,>>

Tom,

	Roads to Gettysburg is a useful tool for anyone studying the early part of
the campaign.  It covers both armies with the exception of the cavalry.  It
is organized similar to a journal format in which a daily record of movement
by corps is provided, plus a few details about the reasons for stopping and
starting again.  It includes good maps with units plotted in their positions
as they progress northward.  It is a documented study with plenty of
endnotes.

	A companion book that I have found useful is Mark Nesbit's "35 Days to
Gettysburg:  The Campaign Diaries of Two American Enemies."  The information
in the daily diaries of a Georgia soldier and a Pennsylvania soldier provide
another perspective on the march northward with useful supplemental
information to Gottfried's book.

Regards, Tom
