Gettysburg! Fast Facts for Kids and Families is a fresh and captivating look at the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863. Our youthful guides, Liam and Jaden, lead us through the human side of the conflict—the eccentric, the unlikely, and the lovable. Witty commentary that is also sympathetic and reverent tells us that we are truly there. Single-page introductions to each day of the battle, action-packed paintings by Dale Gallon, and never-before-seen photographic images provide an uncommon appeal to all ages and interests!
Photographer and author Gregory Christianson lives in Gettysburg and has been walking the fields near his family home since he was a child. The idea for this book came about when he realized there were few books suitable for younger readers and families. Greg is the former publisher and editor of the award-winning Unsung Hero magazine, and the author of the well-received The Reconciliation of All Things. He keeps fit by tramping the battlefield in search of the perfect photograph and by coaching and playing soccer at every opportunity.
