Interesting insights. I know the book references Mr. Frassanito quite a few times but perhaps not in the manner it should have been handled. And the ACHS circumstance is unfortunate.
Pretty much an impulse buy on my part for the photos and agree on the mistakes. But yes, still on my ACW shelf.
Went through a phase when the word "Gettysburg" in a book title pretty much ensured a purchase from me.
Like to think I've matured a bit in this regard and am not as easily persuaded.
Highly value Mr. Frassanito's "Gettysburg A Journey in Time", "Gettysburg Then and Now" and "Gettysburg Then and Now Companion", and "The Gettysburg Bicentennial Album" as well as all his other contributions to the photographic record of the ACW.
My absolute favorite though, as is true for you, is "Early Photography at Gettysburg". Am on my second copy.
Look forward to hearing more about your forthcoming "Then and Now" books. Thanks for the heads up!
