"Virtual Gettysburg a vital addition to the bookshelf of every Civil War aficionado"

"Just when you thought it was impossible for anyone to produce anything new and exciting about the Battle of Gettysburg-after all, the battle has been "done" in nearly every format, ad infinitum-along comes Virtual Gettyburg. With licensed Gettysburg Battlefield guide Gary Kross narrating. Virtual Gettysburg takes you on an interactive, personally guided tour of 21 sites on the Battlefield of July 1-3, 1863".

A very welcome feaure of this cd-rom is its compatibility with both PC and Mac systems. Another helpful tool is the accompanying 118-page guidebook, which includes most of Kross's narration, with black-and-white photographs and maps.
