Those books are fine for people who know nothing about Gettysburg or the Civil War but for those who really want to know the facts and learn the intricacies of the battle and its importance I would stick to the books I listed above to get a grasp on the battle. Plus Shaara is a prick, met him once and he wouldn't even sign a park map for one of the interns I lived with in 07.

So I applied for a membership director position with the Gettysburg Adams Chamber of Commerce and the deadline to apply is tomorrow which means interviews might take place next week. I am crossing my fingers that I get called for an interview and if thats the case is anyone available next week or early the following for a herf?

If they are like any other company or government agency, the interviews might take place before Christmas. To assume there is a chance for an interview next week is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Its wishful thinking on my part that it would take place that early but you never know.

I applied for a federal job that closed in early Oct, didn't interview until right before Thanksgiving. Maybe state won't be so bad :D
