Book Reviews of Retreat from Gettysburg: Lee, Logistics, and the Pennsylvania Campaign (Civil War America)

Book Review: Really good. Dont read it unless you have time to tour the route
Summary: 5 Stars

Really good. Dont read it unless you have time to tour the route....because you will want to go.

Maps good.
Masterson writes a good one. Havent read Continuous Fight yet, but find it difficult to believe it brings much more. Their inclusion of GPS points, though, is a giant leap for the tramper.

Masterson has rekindled the interest in this ..and uncovering this episode which has been so neglected...is a coup for him...congrats.

You will have alot of statistics and names thrown at you...so if you dont have the strong interest, or are not a student of the battle..it may overwhelm.

This book made me fly out there and rent a car. What else can I say?
