Mark Nesbitt is the author of the popular Ghosts of Gettysburg, a six-volume series that received the National Paranormal Award in 2004. Formerly a National Park Service ranger and then a battlefield guide, he has lived in Gettysburg since 1971.
The author has selected the diaries of two participants in the Battle of Gettysburg: Thomas Lewis Ware, a Confederate soldier from Georgia, and Franklin Horner, a Union soldier from Pennsylvania, and follows them for 35 days as each one marches toward Gettysburg. Their experiences, thoughts, and feelings are recounted exactly as written in their diaries. The author's commentary follows each day's entry and gives insight and detail as to location, army units involved, food and housing, and background information on each individual to better understand the diary entries. The author then takes the two participants through the Battle of Gettysburg, their involvement in each phase of the battle, and the final outcome as it affects them. Lastly, the author maps out routes of march for each of the two participants, using modern highways for anyone wishing to duplicate the marches. The book gives interesting insight into the thoughts and feelings of two common soldiers as they approach a major battle. It will be of value to any library needing information on the daily life of soldiers during the Civil War.
