NF Irrelevant Gettysburg Scenes

[Cavalier]

James N. I first encountered the Chandler book in 1966 at the Fort Ritchie library. I read parts of it when I was in the army. I got my own copy in the 70s and have read a lot, again in parts, but never read it from cover to cover. To have an autographed copy is really something special. And so is reading it from cover to cover to cover!

I've had the privilege of meeting Dr. Chandler on three different occasions, and each time I brought books he had written for him to sign. In addition to Campaigns... there are the Waterloo book; a short biography called simply Napoleon; Napoleon's Marshals which he edited and wrote the chapter on his favorite, Davout; and his one-volume Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars. He was ever gracious and charming in person, and although typically British in manner, an invariably interesting speaker.
