You NEED this Book about The Battle of Gettysburg!

There's no better feeling than finding that one book that makes you think about something differently than you had before. Gregory Coco's book, "A Strange and Blighted Land: Gettysburg the Aftermath of Battle," is THE book that made me think about the Battle of Gettysburg differently.
First published in 1995, Coco's book became a go-to piece for historians who wanted to learn more about the costs of battle, instead of a tactics-driven overview of the campaign. The letters, diaries, and photographs provided within this book make it my favourite book about Gettysburg, ever! I think you'll enjoy it too!

I remember reading A Strange and Blighted Land and marveling at the amount of information in the book! It's a keeper!

True view of all battlefields in the world from allwars.

Not an easy task narrowing it down to one book. A very good choice

[@TheTattooedHistorian]

You're right, there are so many great books out there!

[@pauldallalis4735]

My number 1 book about the battle. Gregory did himself proud. And if not mistaken he passed away sometime ago. Get a copy if you can. You will not be sorry.

Bought it after watching your previous video about top Gettysburg books. It’s next on the reading list when I finish Faust’s book on death and the Civil War, which I’m halfway through.

How do you like Faust's book?

@@TheTattooedHistorian let’s just say that people who casually toss around the idea of civil war need to read books like her’s. It truly was a Republic of Suffering. My great grandmother’s father was in the 12th New Hampshire regiment and I keep his picture in my room. He helps me keep things in perspective. FYI I was a friend of Pete Carmichael. He came to Vermont in the mid nineties to do a marathon and stayed with us. I met him through Richmond National Battlefield park, Robert Krick, Gary Gallagher, Bobby Krick, they used to lead battlefield tours. I can’t believe Pete left so soon. He was such a hoot to be around. Anyway, I enjoy your channel. Very professional and informative.

Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing that about Pete. Gettysburg will never be the same without his presence there.

Would you recommend any of the other Coco books?

[@TheTattooedHistorian]

Good question! "A Vast Sea of Misery" is great for medical history of the Battle of Gettysburg. I highly recommend it to bookend this book
