About the author

As the editor of the late, lamented Historic Traveler magazine, Tom Huntington developed a love for writing that merged stories from the past with journeys of discovery in the present. That was an approach he took with his first two books, Ben Franklin's Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Civil War Trails, and one he continues with Searching for George Gordon Meade: The Forgotten Victor of Gettysburg. Huntington's writing has appeared in Air & Space, America in WWII, American Heritage, American History, America's Civil War, British Heritage, Civil War Times, Invention & Technology, and Smithsonian. He also wrote the text for Guide to Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments, which is available in both print and app versions. Huntington lives in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Beth Ann, and his children, Katie and Sam, and is currently an editor for Stackpole Magazines.

Nice pocket guides to the monuments, markers and plaques on the field. It contains a small info spot on each and the GPS coordinates. Some of the more remote or hidden markers are omitted. Still it is a nice addition to add learning about the park or battle.

Great guide that tells you all about the monuments. Very descriptive would totally recommend it to a friend into history and especially the civil war.
