Essential Gettysburg Series
This series (at least one title a year) will include original manuscripts and facsimile reprints of long out-of-print classics (with updated Forewords).
BOOK # 1: The Struggle for the Bliss Farm at Gettysburg, July 2nd and 3rd, 1863, by Elwood Christ. (7/8s sold out.)BOOK # 2: "Strong Men of the Regiment Cried Like Children": The Defeat of John Reynolds’ I Corps at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, by John M. Priest (June 2024.)
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Covid supply chain problems, the stopping of the production of the main cloth we used on the side boards, AND a 100% increase in the cost of 3-piece case binding, paper, and shipping, forced us to modify some aspects of this series after the appearance of Volume 1. We apologize, but the massive unforeseeable changes required a few changes on our end.
Here are some of the "bells and whistles" we will include going forward:
1. Quality Paper: 50-60-lb. acid-free off-white coated stock paper;
2. Series Number: Each volume will be numbered on the spine in the order of its release;
3. Cloth: The spine and boards are expensive blue Skivertex ("goatskin") matching Vol. 1 Bliss Farm.
4. Jacket: Beginning with the second volume, we will include a dust jacket. You can remove the jacket and shelve the book with Volume 1 for consistency on your shelf (they will look the same), or not! Your choice.
The price will always be exceptionally reasonable.
Series Editor: Meet Mitchell Yockelson. We wanted a fresh set of eyes on the campaign and battle. Mitch is an award-winning military historian, editor, and investigative archivist with the National Archives. He has studied the Civil War for much of his life, but has primarily published on other military topics. His books include Borrowed Soldiers: Americans under British Command, 1918 (2016), Forty-Seven Days: How Pershing’s Warriors Came of Age to Defeat the German Army in World War I (2016), The Paratrooper Generals: Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and the American Airborne from D-Day through Normandy (2020), and much more, including articles and book reviews. Mitch is a former professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. He lives in Annapolis, Maryland.
