Gettysburg
A Journey in Time

by William A. Frassanito

Front Cover:

This is a very nice book about the Civil War. It is filled with vintage photographs and many of the photographs contain modern views of the site. The book was published in 1975 by Charles Scribners Sons, New York. The soft cover book measures 7 ¼ inches by 9 inches and contains 248 pages. The cover shows minor signs of wear, hardly worth mentioning. The cover is securely attached. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is very good.
