Great bookBy Bettie 7752I have all of Mark Nesbitt's books and he was the one who did such a good job of making me realize how unbelievable brave these soldiers were and we are going in two weeks to Gettysburg as I have turned into a bona fide Civil War buff. Thank you; Mr Nesbitt.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Ghosts of Gettysburg series by Mark NesbittBy TommiI love this entire series! I'm a big Civil War buff due to having many; many ancestors fight for the Union; and a big 'true' ghost story fan; so the Ghosts of Gettysburg series is perfect for me. It's also very refreshing to find an author who is able to write coherently; which seems to be a dwindling skill today. Highly recommend this entire series!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
