    An excellent and important historical graphic novel anyone interested in American history will enjoy reading.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2013*

Even though most Americans are familiar with the historical significance of the battle of Gettysburg, many probably have not read anything about it since their first American history course.  This excellent Graphic Adaptation by Wayne Vansant, makes this most famous civil war battle really come alive.  It also explains many of the vital details about this historic battle, which many historians think was the turning point in the civil war.This book is organized into five areas.  The prologue covers the long chance and the march north by Lee and his army.  The book moves to the first day, July 1, 1863 when the first shot occurred and the gathering storm was about to begin.  On the second day, July 2, 1863 the text deals with the importance of Round Top and Devil's den, as well as the wheat field and the peach orchard  events.  The third and final day, July 3rd, 1863 deals with Pickett's charge and what a disaster it turned out for Lee's Army.  The final section explains the aftermath of the battle with the defeat of the south and victory by the north.  This section also tells how President Lincoln wanted General Mead to go after Lee's army who were retreating, but Mead refused.  Many historians think this was a mistake by General Mead because it may have ended the civil war at that time.In conclusion, this is a book every American should read to better understand this important American historical battle.Rating:  5 Stars.

    Gettysburg for all
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2013*

The 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg will be coming up shortly, and for those interested in it but unwilling to plow through tedious history books, this graphic presentation of the battle is ideal. The author (and artist) has given the reader an excellent overview of the battle, from the beginning of the idea of the invasion of the North by General Lee, to Lincoln's address several months after the battle. It appears to cover all of the major movements and actions of that three day bloodbath in often grisly pictorial detail. I've visited Gettysburg many times, as it is only 90 minutes from where I live, and this book is quite a helpful guide. Younger readers may be put off by the mention of various army parts, or the command structures of each army. Also, the position maps, which I find very helpful, might just turn them off to the whole idea. Older children and adults should have no trouble following the action, and taking this book to the scene might be a great help to visitors. There were a few typos, and some fractured grammar, but they were minor when compared with the achievement of this work. I can highly recommend it!

    Best Graphic Presentation of Gettysburg
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2013*

This book was a great presentation of the Battle of Gettysburg. I remember the American Heritage book on the Civil War from the 1970's. I really loved their pictures and maps.  This in its own way is the equal and maybe the better of depicting the battle.There were many things I liked about the book; Good maps, good graphics depicting the Corps with its General and their subordinate Officers, and the little historic anecdotes of what the soldiers said or did (many I hadn't heard before).  As the battle commenced the art really made the point of how horrific the it really was and it was done without the gore that would turn many off.  I found I learned a few things as I read it, got a better understanding of what went on, and really enjoyed it.  Its a great resource for anyone interested in the battle.  I would also recommend it for anyone going to Gettysburg as a good way to prepare yourself for your visit.
