Nearly two million people visit Gettysburg National Military Park
annually, but most of those visitors possess only a rudimentary
knowledge of the battle and restrict their travel to the
well-established tourist routes. Few know the stories behind the
monuments that dot the battlefield, but those back stories are often as
fascinating as the story of the battle itself. In their award-winning
So You Think You Know Gettysburg?, the Gindlespergers had to make
difficult decisions when deciding which of the 200 sites out of the
1,300 battlefield monuments to include. At their frequent book signings
in Gettysburg, customers were asking them for a second volume so
visitors could learn even more about the monuments throughout the park.
In So You Think You Know Gettysburg? Volume Two, the Gindlespergers
have expounded on the histories of an additional 200+ park attractions.
The area maps and 270+ color photographs make this guide a welcome
addition for the park visitor or the armchair traveler.
