This is an early
book, written in 1924 by L.W. Minnigh, who was an author, lecturer, and battlefield guide.
It is filled with information, a map from the year 1863 depicting all regiment movements
and unit movements for the entire area surrounding Gettysburg, illustrations, and photos
of many of the key players in the Battle of Gettysburg as well. As it says on the inside
cover, "profusely illustrated historical guide book," and that, it
is! The various battles are described, in detail, as it lists the Union and Confederate
Divisions, Brigades, Regiments, and Battalions, by Corps, includes "Reminiscences of
Gettysburg in Prose and Poetry, and even includes a "Memoriam" of both Federal
and Confederate officers. There are many, many other interesting writings, too numerous to
list here! This is a very unique book, which would be great for those who wish to add to
their collection of Civil War/Gettysburg memorabilia. The cover of the book is almost
perfect in its graphics, except for a small but neat rip in the lower left corner which
fits back into place, and the pages are clean and perfect inside. Copyright 1924 by Tipton
& Blocher. This is a softbound book (168 pages), and considering it is 77 years old,
is in excellent condition!
