GDG- Essential Books on Gettysburg

[mfitz54 at aol.com]

Your approach is a fantastic idea. You get a great general overall study of the battle and then

you can scrutinize each day with Pfanz and Wert.

You can also utilize Brown's book regarding the retreat from Gettysburg and Gottfried's book

concerning the prelude to the battle.

Everyone has a different approachto reading the History of this Battle, and i have tried them all. My newest, and current course is to read Coddington ( no doubt, the best overall study ), until he is finished with Day One, and then put it aside, and read the Day One of Pfanz, then back to Coddington thru Day Two, and then go to Pfanz , Day Two, then Coddington again, thru Day Three. Then finally finish up with Wert for Day three, and Pfanz on Cemetary, and Culp's Hill..?
This mayy all sound very confusinf, but after struggling, and getting more, and more confused over all the various aspects of this Battle, I've decided that this is the best course to try to clear up, exactly who did what to whom.?
? Good Luck,?

PS - I'll have a new course of study ready by next year.?
