An avid Civil War historian, Dr. Gottfried is the author of nine books, including: The Battle of Gettysburg: A Guided Tour (1998); Stopping Pickett: The History of the Philadelphia Brigade (1999); Brigades of Gettysburg (2002); Roads to Gettysburg (2002); and Kearny's Own: The History of the First New Jersey Brigade (2005).

At a time when many military history books provide only a small number of maps, often of indifferent quality or poor reproductions of nineteenth century engravings, it is a real pleasure to peruse such high quality, attractive, detailed maps that have been drawn specifically for the book....will be an invaluable aid to further serious research. Readers interested in the American Civil War will certainly want to check other volumes in this series. * Miniature Wargames - Arthur Harman * If you like your ACW, then I say - get thee to a bookstore immediately! * Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy *
