I still have that Life collection and the Frederick Ray comic book, also purchased on my first trip to Gettysburg.<br /><br />How about the American Heritage Pictorial History of the Civil War (junior version). I think that book is responsible for a couple generations of Civil War nuts.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100881728689912157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-26133328032894435942011-01-07T08:37:46.816-05:002011-01-07T08:37:46.816-05:00Ron,

I have one of the Revised 1961 versions with original cover. I believe I paid 35 cents in 1966 for the "Historical Handbook Book Series No. 31." That booklet was sold in the bookstore with a different cover for I believe $9 until four or five years ago. Now you can go to this site to complete your collection... http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/hh/31/index.htm.<br />Ron DickeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-26487607601771752782011-01-06T17:23:38.039-05:002011-01-06T17:23:38.039-05:00I have the Petersburg booklet and you can still bu...I have the Petersburg booklet and you can still buy the Gettysburg booklet in one of the bookstores here. We've got one behind the desk along with a booklet on "Geology and the Battle of Gettysburg". (Apparently the Rebs were trying to get the Yankees off of the rocks.)<br /><br />John C.

Pennsylvania and the Civil War and the Glades Star by the Garrett County Historical Society, Maryland both published in 1961. I also have the first edition of the Carroll County Maryland Historical Society's Just South of Gettysburg. Prelude to Gettysburg published by the Hanover Chamber of Commerce in 1963. I personally enjoy the colorful trinkets that local businesses handed out. The best one that I have is a dimesaver from Farmers & Mechanics Citizens National Bank. Very colorful artwork. The idea was to follow the historical events of the Civil War with dimes and once you finished, you have $3.00 from there you could start a new account or deposit your savings. Great collection, Mannie and thank you for sharing.John A.
