Summer’s Bloodiest Days by Jennifer L. Weber


Weber, Jennifer L. Summer’s Bloodiest Days: The Battle of Gettysburg as Told From All Sides, 59 p. National Geographic, 2010.  $17.95.  Using historic accounts from Union and Rebel soldiers, townspeople, outsiders and government figures, Weber paints a vivid, but easily understood, portrait of the days of Gettysburg.  Accompanied by maps, photos, and gorgeous paintings by Don Troiani (look him up), this book is useful for many ages of students and extremely helpful for teachers needing resources.  EL, MS – ESSENTIAL.
