So You Think You Know Gettysburg?: The Stories Behind the Monuments and the Men Who Fought One of America's Most Epic BattlesIf you didn't sleep through U. S. history class, you've heard of Pickett's Charge. If you've seen the movie Gettysburg, you're familiar with Little Round Top. If you've been to the battlefield, you've seen the Wheatfield. But do you know about the ten or so Confederates buried by accident in Gettysburg National Cemetery? Or about the Union general whose embezzling ways kept his bust from being displayed on his brigade's memorial? Or how that same

If you didn't sleep through U.S. history class, you've heard of Pickett's Charge. If you've seen the movie Gettysburg, you're familiar with Little Round Top. If you've been to the battlefield, you've seen the Wheatfield. But do you know about the ten or so Confederates buried by accident in Gettysburg National Cemetery? Or about the Union general whose embezzling ways kept his bust from being displayed on his brigade's memorial? Or how that same embezzling general, when asked why he had no monument at Gettysburg, could rightly reply, "Why, hell, the whole battlefield is my monument"? Authors James and Suzanne Gindlesperger have visited Gettysburg an average of five times annually over the past twenty years. So You Think You Know Gettysburg? shows why they find it a place not only of horrible carnage and remarkable bravery but endless fascination. Who, or what, was Penelope? Whose dog is depicted on the Eleventh Pennsylvania Monument, and why? What are the Curious Rocks? Why does Gettysburg have two markers for the battle's first shot, and why are they in different locations? The plentiful maps, the nearly 200 site descriptions, and the 270-plus color photos in So You Think You Know Gettysburg? will answer questions you didn't even know you had about America's greatest battlefield.

James and Suzanne Gindlesperger are the authors of So You Think You Know Gettysburg?, which was the bronze winner in the travel guide category for ForeWord Reviews' Book of the Year Award in 2010. James is a "Friend of the Field" at Gettysburg and the author of three books about the Civil War: Escape from Libby Prison, Seed Corn of the Confederacy, and Fire on the Water. Suzanne is the cofounder of Pennwriters, a professional organization of published and aspiring authors. The couple lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

"This is not a book that fits into one slot easily. This is a book wearing many hats . . . defying a quick or easy description. Part guidebook, part trivia quiz, and part history with a series of fine color photos . . . a well-organized, very attractive, fun book . . . " -- James Durney, TOCWOC, A Civil War Blog

The perfect casual work pants!
Size: 16, Color: Camel
I love these pants! I used the size chart to order per my measurements and it worked out perfectly. I am 5’5” 180lbs and ordered size 16 in Camel. These are more on the casual side, but with the right styling they could be dressed up. They are soft with a brushed cotton feel. They have just enough stretch to add to comfort, but not so stretchy that they lose their shape or don’t retain initial structure. I wore them for a full work day the required a lot of walking, bending, and squatting. They are just a couple inches longer on me than I’d like, but most cropped/ankle style pants are. I didn’t notice prior to ordering they don’t have a button. No worries - the zipper stays up and makes for a flattering and different look. I plan to order again in a couple different colors. I’m shocked at how good the quality considering I only paid $14 for them.

Very shirt and ugly zipper
Size: 4, Color: Mauve
Way too short and zipper is large and ugly. I'm only 5'3" and these still looked like capris. The zipper was more obvious and unattractive. Style otherwise was cute casual, but overall not OK.

Disappointed
Size: 0, Color: Rust Orange, Size: 0, Color: Rust Orange
I initially loved these pants when I first took them out of the bag and put them on. They fit like a glove and I also loved the capri length. After washing once, the legs of the pants became so loose and baggy. Very disappointed. Also, there is a stain on the leg that became more visible. What on earth happened to these pants??

Comfortable pants, flattering, appear durable, run big, adorable pink color.
Size: 8, Color: Mauve
These pants were surprisingly comfortable and flattering. I got a size US 8, though I normally wear a 10 or 12. An interesting thing to note is that while Amazon's size recommendation was 12, the size 8 was highlighted to add to my basket. The size 8 in the pink was on sale for less than $9, where the size 12 was much more. Reading other reviews, I saw that they ran at least one or two sizes big for a lot of people, so I went ahead and go the size 8 and am glad I did. I am 5'5" and the hit right at the bottom of my ankle when standing and about an inch and a half above my ankle when sitting. The color is really nice; they wash and dry with few wrinkles. The zip only front means that they need to fit well. I ended up ordering the orange rust color in the same size and it was slightly too tight in the waist, so I had to send them back. This pair, however fit perfectly. I am very pleased with them, especially for the price. The material is heavy and they appear to be durable. I am not an apple shape, so I usually do not have an issue with pants being too tight in the waist, and I will say that, I tried these back on the same day I tried the orange ones on and these still fit the same, so there is some difference in cut between colors, but that may or may not apply to all sizes. Really like the pink pair.

Great find!
Size: 4, Color: Black
These are great pants. I have them in black and navy. They have a prewashed appearance and a chino like fabric. I had read the reviews and sized up and the pants were big so I returned them. I bought the 4’a and they fit perfectly! I won’t put them in the dryer because I don’t want them to shrink in length. They are very cute casual pants for a very good price!
