The images in this book are stunning. The narrative about the history of this battlefield is beautifully written and truly brings the battlefield to life. I am really impressed!
Stunning pictures and had the pleasure of listening to Matthew Holzman at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, WV. He provided a wonderful walk through history featuring the town so close to the university.
