GDG- Understanding the Battle

[Rea Andrew Redd]

I agree with Charles Kann's assessment.  In preparing for the 2006 exam I read (among other things) and found most helpful 'Brigades of Gettysburg' (Gottfried) and 'Generals of Gettysburg' (Tagg).
   
  I made flashcards from the books and finally after years of reading Coddington, Sears, Trudeau and many others, the content, flow and progress of the battle became more focused and 'memorable.'
   
  Also, in preparing for the 2008 exam, I am relying on Charles Kann's wwwsite on the monuments, which was the most difficult part of the test for me:  twenty b/w, photocopied monument pictures with the monuments' text digitally erased.
