The Medal of Honor at Gettysburg

By: James Gindlesperger

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty In early summer, 1863 Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia began moving northward. As Lee moved toward Maryland, the Union army followed, taking a parallel path on the opposite side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From June 9 to the beginning of July the two armies skirmished at various locations along the route. Then, from July 1 through July 3, they clashed in the epic Battle of Gettysburg. Throughout the Gettysburg Campaign, seventy-two men earned the Medal of Honor, the highest honor in the American military. Discover the harrowing narratives of those who served to keep a nation united with the highest valor. Including the story of the unknown soldiers awarded the medal, these profiles showcase some of the most intense moments of the most important battle in the Civil War. Author James Gindlesperger presents the Medal of Honor at Gettysburg.

Side by Side in Eternity

The Lives Behind Adjacent American Military Graves

By: James Robert McNeal,J. Eric Smith

Every gravestone in every graveyard can frame a story far more complex than the dates engraved upon it. It's common for spouses to be memorialized together as a final affirmation of the commitments made in life, or for bereaved parents to be buried with children who tragically preceded them in death. Close proximity burials of seemingly unrelated figures can similarly reveal the tales of people who otherwise walked together in life, by choice or by chance. For example, the Confederate burial of Union Col. Robert Gould Shaw was certainly meant as a dishonor as Shaw was buried in an unmarked, low-lying coastal trench alongside the fallen African American members of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment he had commanded at Fort Wagner. After the war, however, the men's remains were recovered and reinterred--meaningfully, still together--at the newly commissioned Beaufort National Cemetery. This book explores a dozen unique examples of such side-by-side burials over the course of U.S. history. It begins by describing each of the protagonists' final chapters, before spooling out the tales and significance of their actual journeys to such interwoven endpoints. The evolution of funerary practices and observances in the United States is interspersed throughout, with a special focus on military honors and burials.

Into the Vortex of Fire (HB)

By: James H. Lamason,Gerard E. Mayers

Into the Vortex of Fire (HB) By: James H. Lamason with Gerard E. Mayers “It is… the stories of the men who were there, those who came back and those who never would, that form the backbone of this work. Author Jim Lamason, long a friend, and collaborator Gerry Mayers (co-author of our book of human interest stories of the Irish in the Civil War) tell the story of one man from New Jersey and his comrades who sweated, toiled, and bled at Gettysburg. This book is a fitting tribute to the sons of New Jersey whose lives were forever changed in the fields that we now know as the Gettysburg National Military Park.” - Scott Mingus, Sr.

So You Think You Know Antietam?

The Stories Behind America's Bloodiest Day

By: James Gindlesperger,Suzanne Gindlesperger

September 17, 2012, marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam--America's bloodiest day. To the people in the North it was Antietam, after the stream whose name translated from the Native American as the swift current. Those in the South referred to it as Sharpsburg, after the nearby town. Whatever the name, this much is undisputed: it was the bloodiest one-day battle in United States history. Following just 12 hours of combat, some 23,000 American soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing. The site of the battle of Antietam is remarkably preserved and looks much the same today as it did on that fateful day 150 years ago. Administered by the National Park Service, the Antietam National Battlefield contains nearly 100 monuments, each with its own story. So You Think You Know Antietam? honors those who took part in this darkest of days in our nation's history by telling the stories behind the monuments. Who designed the monuments and what do the symbols represent? Why are no Confederate soldiers buried in the national cemetery? What connection did Clara Barton have with the battle? Who was Johnny Cook and what did he do? Written with casual visitors and armchair travelers in mind, So You Think You Know Antietam? answers the above questions and more. Readers will learn some of the lesser known stories about Antietam and the human side of war through poignant vignettes that reveal the ironies and tragedies not normally found in typical guidebooks. Featuring close to 300 color photos, 10 color-coded chapters and maps, and GPS coordinates of all monument locations, So You Think You Know Antietam? is a well-organized, attractive book meant to enrich the reader's experience. James and Suzanne Gindlesperger are the authors ofSo You Think You Know Gettysburg?, which was the bronze winner in the travel guide category forForeWord Reviews' Book of the Year Award in 2010. James is a "Friend of the Field" at Gettysburg and the author of three books about the Civil War:Escape from Libby Prison,Seed Corn of the Confederacy, andFire on the Water. Suzanne is the cofounder of Pennwriters, a professional organization of published and aspiring authors. The couple lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Whatever Happened to the Pecords?

By: James Naughton

The book is a mystery story and memoir of a family, the Pecords, who vanished from their home, the last remote stop on the authors paper route, about 50ft from the Connecticut River one Friday evening, early fall,1959. Instead of calling the police he called two buddies to do their own investigation and nearly got killed. The author allows the reader to peer into the 50's era through the use of flashbacks that he incurred during a run for his life.. Because of a sworn oath, he was unable to tell the story until now. As a coincidence, a relatively new college Goodwin College purchased the missing family's home last summer and invited the author to tour the home after 53yrs. They also shared with him, that the home was part of a ferry service set up by Samuel Colt(Colt45) and a was a home that he lived in for awhile.
