An inquiring mind on a first visit to Gettysburg may discover countless questions about the area, the battle, the people, and the place. Allers, coauthor of The History Buff's Guide to Gettysburg, pens this book in the hope of telling the stories behind the myth and mystery of the battle. With sections chronologically in regards to pre-battle, July 1, 2, and 3, and post- battle, topics are presented in brief, accessible chapters suitable for either quick reference or a start-to-finish read. Intended for the general public rather than a scholarly audience. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
