I'm assuming that, like me, you're interested in the various sources of historical evidence on a (somewhat) disputed point, and what we can learn from them ... and what influence our preconceptions have on our analysis of historical data :-).

Big bump on that!

I also like the "what if" game. What if Jackson wasn't killed at Chancellorsville? What if the 2nd Corps wasn't split between AP Hill and Ewell? What if Jackson was at Gettysburg?

I got a book - Stonewall at Gettysburg but it was horrible. Total lack of imagination on the writer's part. Disappointing to say the least.

Anyway... I have Stephen Sears book on Gettysburg coming from the library... I've read his book on Antietam and Chancellorsville. They were very good.

I heard Newt's book on G'burg is good, too. We did a few reviews on FR last year and folks seemed to like it.

If you're going to Gettysburg, there's an Army War College battlefield guide that's really good. I remember my dad had it when we visited in 1992. It was December, so we froze our extremities right off, but at least it wasn't crowded!
