Rating:  Summary: enjoyable Review: Although I enjoy the way that Mark Nesbitt weaves the history of a place I love with the telling of ghost stories (the combination is WICKED!), volume 4 left me feeling like I have read it all before. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are fresher, and the words draw you into both the battle and paranormal experiences. Volume 4 is a $5 commercial for the new ghost tours. Read the other volumes for a less commercial collection of stories.
Rating:  Summary: Buy 'em all! Review: Former Park Ranger Mark Nesbitt has over the years gathered many ghost stories from other park rangers, visitors and people who live in the area. Nesbitt tries to gather factual data on the stories he receives so he can offer a background as to why these ghost stories may have evolved. His stories are usually quite interesting and do not just talk about battlefield soldiers, civilians alike are also involved in famous ghost stories in Gettysburg! Buy all 5 books, there worth it! Each has many short stories that are easy and fun to read.
Rating:  Summary: Mark Nesbitt is the best! Review: I have read all of Mark's books, and highly recommend them! We visited Gettysburg last year, and while we didn't see any apparitions (or I don't think we did), his books were very informative! His Ghosts of Gettysburg tour is also high on our 'redo' list! If it's Gettysburg history you want, this series is for you!!!
Rating:  Summary: enjoyable Review: I ordered books 1 through 4 last year, and it took me a little more than a week to read all of them. Even if you're not interested in ghosts, the historical accounts of the areas in which the stories took place is quite interesting. I like the 4 books so much that I'm afraid to lend them out for fear of not seeing them again. I'm looking forward to book 5. If you like both civil war history and ghost stories, you won't regret reading these little gems.
Rating:  Summary: Ghosts of Gettysburg: Ghoulish Fun Review: The four books in the Ghosts of Gettysburg series are chillingly told, and mix factual accounts of the battle as well as accounts of run-ins with the supernatural. The best fun comes after reading the books when you visit the battlefield to hunt down the haunts. Caution: do not read these books alone at night!!
