I believe you can find them online in digital form. I know Savas Beatty did a limited printing. Used book stores, if you’re lucky. I’d google it. You might have to do some digging and waiting but they’re out there.
I am glad you guys discussed the ORs. There are so many hidden gems in them. Two of my favorites are - Buford on the First Day after Reynolds is killed is telling Pleasanton (and then Meade) that there appears to be no one in charge and that “we need help now.” My other is from Lt Aaron Jerome of the Signal Corps to General Butterfield (I think) at Meade’s HQ when he informs him that the “rebels are in force , one mile west of Round Top Signal Station. The woods are full of them.” Very interesting episode. Well done !
1. ORs Vol. 27 2. Batchelder Papers 3. Coddington 4. Phil Lainos Gettysburg Campaign Atlas 5. Your favorite days best book. Since I think the definitive day 1 book is still out there (David Martin's book is still on deck) I pick Pfanz 2nd Day with his Culps Hill/Cemetery Hill right in there too. These are in my car every trip!
I have the OR on CD and 15 volumes hardback, The Gettysburg Campaign by Edwin B. Coddington, Gettysburg, a Testing of Courage by Noah Andre Trudeau and of course Shelby Foote's trilogy. The only battle written more about is the Battle of Waterloo, I have two of those books. All four of my great grandfathers fought for the Confederacy so I have an extensive collection of Civil War books. I also have The West Point Atlas of American Wars that includes maps of all the major Civil War battles.
What do you mean by “spell out”? They’re very handy books to have. Not cheap. It all cost you about $300 for both sets but well worth adding to your collection
Where does one find the OR’s?
