The Greatest Book on Earth
This book is a great book! Nobody should pass this book up. None of it is boring! It has so much detail about the battle, battle prep, and cleanup. It is my favorite book. All the movements and everything were so vivid, that it is almost like you are there.

Where's Donald McKay's illustrations?
MacKinlay Kantor's "Gettysburg" has been the finest introduction to the battle of Gettysburg written for young people for almost 50 years. Unfortunaley, this paperback reprint only includes Kantor's prose. The outstanding pen and ink illustrations from the original Landmark edition by artist Donald McKay are not included. I give Kantor's writting 5 stars...

Where's Donald McKay's illustrations?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gettysburg (Landmark Book) (Turtleback)
MacKinlay Kantor's "Gettysburg" has been the finest introduction to the battle of Gettysburg written for young people for almost 50 years. Unfortunaley, this paperback reprint only includes Kantor's prose. The outstanding pen and ink illustrations from the original Landmark edition by artist Donald McKay are not included. I give Kantor's writting 5 stars. But the current publisher's inability or unwillingness to secure the rights to McKay's illustrations earns a big fat 1 star.

Good youth-oriented introduction,

This book is an excellent youth-oriented introduction to the crucial battle of Gettysburg. I selected it for my nephew to learn about the battle before we visit the site this coming summer. Well done ... good basic facts and anecdotes.

This review is from: Gettysburg (Landmark Books) (Paperback)
My 10 year old grandson just loves these historical books. The boys in his class all asked him where he got them - I guess they are hard to find - and he told them "Amazon.com" A lot of good educational facts in these Landmark books.

The Battle of Gettysburg tension, excitement... boring!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gettysburg (Landmark Books) (Paperback)
When I think of the Civil War I think of excitement and danger. I expect to read a good rich book about it. Yet this book squeezes all the fun out of thesubject War. Yes, war is nothing fun yet it may be exciting and detailed. This book totally lacks all this information. Yet it does tell of the blood thirsty belligerent Generals that are awaiting battle. I have a love of books, all throughout my life. I have read many too. I highly don't recommend this book for pleasure reading. Unless you want to get details for an essay, forget about it.
