GDG- Top ten focus

[Tom Ryan]

<<An excellent point.  I would also add that to study the campaign with out
studying the social issues that surround the battle and were left in the
wake of the battle  make it an academic exercise well.

How about  a count of the number of books that we all own that  deal solely
with the soci0-cultural aspect of the battle?  I am away from my
collection, but I would suspect I have less than a dozen on that (probably
30 or 40 general works).  Certainly the books on the citizens of
Gettysburg, or the hospitals at Gettysburg, or analyzing Lincoln at
Gettysburg would fit into that category.  Tom Desjarden's book  analyzing
the effect of Gettysburg in American Memory would fit the bill as well.>>


Can only count seven that specifically relate to social issues at
Gettysburg.  Can you recommend five or ten of the best in this area?  Would
like to add some to the collection.
