    Story
    "a couple of grating mispronunciations"

    Great treatment of the battle with lots of detail, the book itself is fantastic. However, the narrator constantly mispronounces the last names of Harry Heth and Carl Shurz, (as "heth" and "shurz", rather than the correct "heath" and "shirts"). This doesn't detract from the work of the original author, but it is grating when heard over and over again...

    Story
    "Well read and presented"
    Where does Gettysburg rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This one is on par with what I have listened to so far. The reader added just the right amount of character to the reading.


    Any additional comments?

    I wish there were more Civil War related Audible books. I enjoy them very much and they pass the time while driving back and forth to work.

    Story
    "Gettysburg."
    What did you love best about Gettysburg?

    I enjoyed the historical accuracy of the read.


    Have you listened to any of Ed Sala’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have listened to several other books read by Ed Sala and enjoy all of them. This one is good also.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    See the actual events as they happened during the Gettysburg battle!


    Any additional comments?

    The only negative thing is that it is a little difficult at times to keep track of all the facts about North and South and all the names of the generals involved. It is a lot to keep track of mentally.

    Story
    "One of the best books I've read on Gettysburg"
    What made the experience of listening to Gettysburg the most enjoyable?

    The readers casual style made combined with Mr. Sears style of prose made for an enjoyable listening experience.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The battle of Gettysburg was the greatest battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere., and one of the most studied. The author puts together regimental histories peronal memoirs and other historical data and turns it into a beautifully written narrative which even a novice student of the american civil war will enjoy. The book encompasses the entire gettysburg campaign and is a must read for anyone who wants more than a rudimentary history of the civil war.
