9T ADELMAN, GARRY E.: The Myth of Little Round Top. 124 pp., paperback. $12.95
This study of the allegedly pivotal combat on the slopes of Little Round Top breaks new ground. A radically revisionist look at the most well known small-unit action of the Civil War.10AA ADELMAN, GARRY E.: Little Round Top: A Detailed Tour Guide. 66 pages, maps, photos, paperback. $7.95
Little Round Top was the site of a climactic struggle between Union and Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Twenty tour stops, five maps, and 40 photographs make this book a must for Gettysburg enthusiasts.12B ADELMAN, GARRY E. and TIMOTHY H. SMITH: Antietam Then and Now. 8.5" x 11", paperback. $9.95
By taking old photographs of the Antietam Battlefield and lining them up with the same place today, Garry Adelman and Timothy Smith have assembled more than mere images - they have published a visual documentary of the emergence of America’s best-preserved battlefield. 135 images, recorded between 1862 and 2004 highlight this study and take the reader on a journey as Antietam progressed from battleground to hallowed ground.12BB ALDEMAN, GARRY E. and TIMOTHY H. SMITH: Devil’s Den: A History & Guide. 166 pp., 8 1/2" x 11", paperback. $19.95

56 ARCHER, JOHN M.: East Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg: “The Hour Was One of Horror.” 100 pp., photos, paperback. $12.95
It has been long neglected by historians and visitors to the battlefield, but the easternmost reaches of Cemetery Ridge formed the critical apex of the Union battle line. The land nestled between Culp's Hill and the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg is the only ground on which fighting occurred during each of the three pivotal days of the battle. This study invites the reader to tour this seldom explored segment of the batle, using firsthand accounts to help understand the area with a participant's eye.56A ARCHER, JOHN: Culp's Hill at Gettysburg: "The Mountain Trembled." 144 pp., paperback. $12.95

President Abraham Lincoln visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to deliver a brief speech at the dedication of the new Soldiers' National Cemetery. Many residents left interesting eyewitness accounts of Lincoln's visit. These narratives, however, have been largely neglected by historians. Beyond their human interest appeal, they suggest that Lincoln's immediate reception in Gettysburg was far more enthusiastic than is generally believed. This short book is an attempt to present some of these little-known eyewitness accounts that record one of this nation's most momentous occassions.171C BOARDMAN, SUE AND KATHRYN PORCH: The Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama: A History and Guide. 80 pp., 11 x 8 ½, over 120 illustrations, paperback. $19.95

216C BROWN, KENT MASTERSON: Retreat From Gettysburg: Lee, Logistics, and the Pennsylvania Campaign. 552 pp., 43 illus., 21 maps, index, hardcover. $35.95
In a groundbreaking, comprehensive history of the Army of Northern Virginia’s retreat from Gettysburg in July 1863, Kent Masterson Brown draws on previously untapped sources to chronicle the massive effort of Gen. Robert E. Lee and his command as they sought to move people, equipment, and scavenged supplies through hostile territory and plan the army’s next moves.
More than fifty-seven miles of wagon and ambulance trains and tens of thousands of livestock accompanied the army back to Virginia. The movement of troops and supplies over the challenging terrain of mountain passes and despite the adverse conditions of driving rain and muddy quagmires is carefully described, as are Gen. George G. Meade’s attempts to attack the trains along the South Mountain range and at Hagerstown and Williamsport, Maryland. Lee’s deliberate pace, skillful use of terrain, and constant positioning of the army behind defenses so as to invite attack caused Union forces to delay their own movements at critical times.
Brown concludes that even though the Battle of Gettysburg was a defeat for the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee’s successful retreat maintained the balance of power in the eastern theater and left his army with enough forage, stores, and fresh meat to ensure its continued existence as an effective force.241B BUCKLAND, ERIC W: Mosby's Keydet Rangers. 255 pp., biblio., photos, index, illustrated hardcover. $35.00

741DD GALLAGHER, GARY W. editor: The Third Day at Gettysburg and Beyond. 232 pp., 20 illus., 5 maps, index, paperback. $18.95
The Third Day at Gettysburg and Beyond brings current research and interpretation to bear on a range of pivotal issues surrounding the final day of the battle, July 3, 1863. This revisionist approach begins by expanding our knowledge of the engagement itself: individual essays address Confederate general James Longstreet’s role in Pickett’s Charge and Union general George Meade’s failure to pursue Lee after the fighting. Other essays widen the scope of investigation to look at contemporary reactions to the Confederate defeat across the South, the construction of narratives by the participants themselves—from Confederate survivors of Pickett’s assault to Union sergeant Ben Hirst—and the reverberations of Pickett’s final momentous charge.
The contributors are Gary W. Gallagher, William Garrett Piston, Carol Reardon, Robert K. Krick, Robert L. Bee, and A. Wilson Greene.741FF GALLAGHER. GARY W.: Three Days at Gettysburg.
