Hi everybody, fist off thanks for the great advice you all provided on tours at Gettysburg, I definitely plan on making several trips this summer.
I may have motioned that I am working on my Masters thesis in American History and that I am focusing on the Battle of Gettysburg. Specifically I am going to study day 2 of the battle. I intend to examine the professional relationships, lines of communication, decision processes, and the progression of the battle. Of course Sickles and Longstreet have to be the primary subjects however n my search for a thesis I intend to go further and break down what each brigade and regimental leader encountered that day and how they reacted within the chain of command as the battle developed.
Reference's and research are the foundation of any thesis. I have a number of books already on hand however I thought I might tap this forum for any books, periodicals, websites etc that I have overlooked that can be used in my research.
Please feel to provide an opinion or a reference, all is welcome...
Thanks
Bob
