Transcribed, edited and annotated  by David L. & Audrey Ladd. Published by Morningside Press, Dayton, OH, 1997. 842 pp., maps. In blue glazed cloth, 9.25 x 6.25., w/ gilt cover & spine lettering. In protected White dust jacket. In pristine condition. .

A long time student and authority on of the Battle of Gettysburg, John Bachelder was in 1880 commissioned by the U.S. Congress to write a history of the battle, and provided $50,000 in funds for the project. . Upon completion, however, the  War Department declined to publish it, citing as a reason the anticipated 1889 publication of the three part-part volume (XXVIII) of the Official Records dealing with Gettysburg. Nearly 100 years were to pass before David & Audrey Ladd tackled for Bob Younger’s Morningside Press.

Along his maps, these Bachelder papers have long been regarded as a key reference for serious Gettysburg battle buffs. This particular  Morningside Press specimen is as good as it gets.. For minty condition, we’ve never seen better.  [jp][ph:L]
