I have all ten of the books in your list. The essay collections by Gallagher are collected quite nicely for Days One and Two plus new essays on Day Three in a volume from Kent State that I have from 1999. Thanks, Chris Good List!

I considered almost all of the books in your top 10, though we only have three books in common. Although in the end I didn't choose any of the Gallagher essay books, I own all three and think they are extremely well done. I think it's good your top 10 looks so different from mine, because one of the purposes of this little project was to get a wide variety of books on Getrtysburg so readers have a large selection to choose from. So far, so good. PS I'm going to update the permanent page with a link to this post now. Thanks again for participating! Ethan,

Damn, this really is an impossible task!
