Gettysburg sesquicentennial celebrations are up and running. So far this article about Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels and this interactive map of the battlefield are my favorites. I didn't know that some of Shaara's research was new and influential at the time, though I did suspect that he had something to do with getting going the hagiography of Joshua Chamberlain.
In other news, I just bought Doctorow's The March. Don't know much about it, but looking forward to reading it.
