"Successful Shotgunning covers the full gamut of shotgun shooting situations. everything from competitive skeet and sporting clays to hunting the driven red grouse of Scotland, whitewing doves in Texas, and the bobwhite quail of Georgia. The author has a keenly analytical eye and is able to explain with logical, well-thought-out reasons why we often miss even the 'easy' shots. This book will be a benefit also to the upland bird hunter in the tangled haunts of grouse and woodcock, where there never seems to be enough time to bring the gun up to properly swing and shoot. Blakeley explains how to stop 'poking and hoping' and start applying the 'imaginary moving spot technique.' Successful Shotgunning will be a powerful influence on the shotgunning sports for decades to come." (Dennis Walrod). ".a worthy addition to the field of books on shotgun shooting. It's a thorough useful volume written in a cheery, conversational tone, and it imparts a wealth of practical knowledge." (Charles Fergus).

A story that has remained cryptic in form, hidden from history. I am referring to Gen. Robert E. Lee's true tactical plan for Gettysburg: his intention, throughout the battle, to converge his forces upon and to seize Cemetery Hill on the Union center. Lee's training and years of experience as a soldier led him to understand that Cemetery Hill was the key to the Union position, and from the evening of July 1 until the conclusion of the battle on July 3, he held to that belief. When Lee referred in his official report to the general plan at Gettysburg, the objective of that plan was Cemetery Hill." So begins author and Gettysburg National Military Park historian Troy D. Harman's revisionist study, Lee's Real Plan at Gettysburg. For well over one hundred years, analysis of the Gettysburg Campaign has centered around a set of commonly held beliefs, among them a mistaken interpretation of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's goals for the battle. After years of research, Troy Harman has concluded that Lee's central and unchanged objective from the late afternoon of July 1, 1863, through the failure of Longstreet's assault on July 3, was to "render Cemetery Hill untenable." Harman's position as a ranger at Gettysburg N.M.P. has allowed him an unparalleled opportunity to walk the battlefield, visiting and revisiting the ground at the heart of his theory. This intimate familiarity with the landscape~both as it looks today and as it appeared in 1863~helps to inform and support his argument. Harman's extensive research into official records of the battle as well as first person accounts written by its participants further bolsters his position. By challenging the status quo, Lee's Real Plan at Gettysburg revitalizes the discussion of the Confederate leader's true tactical objectives for the battle and opens up a new opportunity for debate among Civil War enthusiasts and historians.

"[Hardtack was] positively unsuitable fodder for anything that claims to be human.and I think it no exaggeration to say that any intelligent pig possessing the least spark of pride would have considered it a pure insult to have them put into his swill." (Wilbur Fisk, Civil War soldier). We know the uniforms they wore, the weapons they carried, and the battles they fought, but what did they eat and, of even greater curiosity, was it any good? Now the food that fueled the armies of the North and the South and the soldiers' opinions of is front and centre in a biting, fascinating look at the Civil War. There's even a comprehensive "cookbook" of actual recipes included for those intrepid enough to try a taste of the Civil War.
