Thomas Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 Excellent Introduction A friend of mine recently recruited me into his Civil War re-enactment unit. It was an artillery unit and this book was my introduction to Civil War artillery. Dean Thomas writes an excellent introduction starting his readers with organization and drill. Many readers may have known that sponging the barrel cooled it, but they may not have thought about the added effect of extinguishing any ...             Who Wore What?: Women's Wear 1861-186525 reviews Juanita Leisch Thomas Publications (PA), 1995 Who Wore What? Woman's Wear 1861-1865 This is a great book to really tell you as well as show you what people wore during the Civil War. It is based on photographs, thousands upon thousands of them, and a lot of research. Plus some plain common sense. I recommend it highly to any woman who wishes to dress properly at any event as a true "living history" example. I went to my first event after reading this book, finding a good ...             Ghosts of Gettysburg IV, Vol. 47 reviews Mark Nesbitt Thomas Publications (PA), 1998 enjoyable I ordered books 1 through 4 last year, and it took me a little more than a week to read all of them. Even if you're not interested in ghosts, the historical accounts of the areas in which the stories took place is quite interesting. I like the 4 books so much that I'm afraid to lend them out for fear of not seeing them again. I'm looking forward to book 5. If you like both civil war history ...             Gettysburg: A Journey in Time12 reviews William A. Frassanito Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 Brilliant analyses of Civil War photographs If you visit the Devil's Den portion of the Gettysburg battlefield, there's a sign describing how a famous photograph came to be. The photographer claimed that it was a picture of a confederate sharpshooter who had been mortally wounded during the battle. The soldier evidently made himself comfortable before he died. The sign explains that the photograph was staged, the soldier was not a ...             The U Boat Commanders Handbook10 reviews The High Command of the German Navy, High Command of the German Army, ... Thomas Publications (PA), 1989 AMAZING Book, but not for everyone The U-Boat Commander's Handbook is a HANDBOOK. Don't expect a historical narrative here, but as long as you understand that this is a technical manual about every tactic to be used in almost every situation conceivable for a U-Boat commander in 1943, and thats what you are looking to read, it is AMAZING. Pictures have been added, as well as a forward and a dedication, however other than that, ...             An Introduction to Civil War Small Arms4 reviews Earl J. Coates, Dean S. Thomas Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 Everything I hoped for This book is extremely well organized, has clear black and white photos of the guns, sample portraits of actual soldiers with the guns and of the ammuntion. The text is concise, but clear and not technical, perfect for a beginner like me. Since buying and reading it, I've been able to quickly recognize guns I've seen in museums, without even having the book with me.             The Jennie Wade Story4 reviews Cindy L. Small Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 A thorough account of Jennie Wade This book is perhaps the best account that can be found regarding Mary Virginia Wade. This was such a pleasure to read. Packed full of so much information (that a visitor to Gettysburg would never otherwise learn), detailed maps and numerous photographs, this book offers a look into the civilian's life during those three dreadful days. This book sparked such an interest that I plan to return to ...             Morning at Willoughby Run: July 1, 18633 reviews Richard S. Shue Thomas Publications (PA), 1995 Very good look at the opening action of Gettysburg In Morning at Willoughby Run, Richard Shue provides an in-depth look at the opening combat of the battle that came to be known as Gettysburg. With energetic prose, Shue leads the reader from the banks of the Rappahanock River to the meandering rivulet of Willoughby Run, just west of Gettysburg. His story, while very focused, flows very well, and keeps the reader's attention despite his ...             An Introduction to Civil War Civilians7 reviews Juanita Leisch Thomas Publications (PA), 1994 The Title Says It All I purchased this book at my first real Civil War reenactment at the Civil War Muster in Jackson, Michigan. Since my wife and I are portraying civilians and our eldest son is a Union soldier this book came quite handy. What I like most is how it delves into the psyche of the people of the times - how they thought and why they thought the way they did - as this has certainly helped in the accuracy ...             A Handbook of Civil War Bullets and Cartridges Jim Thomas, Dean S. Thomas Thomas Publications (PA) Information for the growing number of collectors as a source of accurate information on bullets, cartridges, and their manufacturers. It can also be used as a guide and checklist to build a collection.             A Killer Angels Companion D. Scott Hartwig Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 The popularity of Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, is legendary. There are currently six million copies in print. But how faithful to the truth was this novelist's view of the Battle of Gettysburg and its key figures? What happened to the major characters after Gettysburg? After 20 years as historian at Gettysburg National Military Park, few know the battle or battlefield better than Scott Hartwig. ...             Antietam: The Photographic Legacy of America's Bloodiest Day3 reviews William A. Frassanito Thomas Publications (PA) A painless photographic tour of the most painful day. If you have only one book on Antietam on your shelf, this might be the one to have. Frassanito explodes old myths, brings the farmers residing on the battlefield alive, and painstakingly dissects photos that seem routine. His greatest flair is bringing out the details, such as identifying the hardtack lid grave markers of the freshly dead, but unknown soldiers, and weaving a story around the ...             East Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg "The Hour Was One of Horror"2 reviews John M. Archer Thomas Publications (PA), 1998 Everything It promises it delivers This is an excellent book providing rich, orderly detailed narratives (i.e. easy to read), old & new photos to aid your tour and good graphic/maps. It cites quotations of battle participants in the context of the markers and photos. The author has done a very fine, interesting job in 90 pages.

Conklin presents a well-researched view of the roles of women in the Civil War by concentrating on those who were involved in the Battle of Gettysburg. By focusing on one battle, one place, she is able to give us a broad range of what women could do to aid the war effort. Many are common women forced to open their homes to the thousands of wounded from both sides out of compassion and ...             Early Photography at Gettysburg5 reviews William A. Frassanito Thomas Publications (PA), 1996 An excellent blend of photographic and military history The majority of most military histories tend to dwell solely on the combatants and the battles fought, and ignore non-military life as it occurred before and after the event. This masterpiece by Frassanito investigates the battle of Gettysburg, paying attention to the town life of Gettysburg before the battle and after the battle. Frassanito has made his imprint in military history by focussing ...              search for books 1861-1865, america, angels, antietam, apparitions, artillery, battlefield, bloodiest, bullets, cannons, cartridges, cemetery, civilians, commanders, companion, gettysburg, ghosts, handbook, haunted, horror, introduction, jennie, journey, killer, morning, photographic, photography, places, spirits, willoughby books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
