Just finished "Alternate Gettysburgs," an anthology of different stories on how the world's most famous battle might have turned out. Not all the stories deal with the battle itself; some deal with other events related to the battle such as a very different gettysburg address. Most interesting to me perhaps was William R. Fortschen's essay "Lee's Victory at Gettysburg...And Then What?" He questions the idea that a win at G'burg meant the South won the war - nonsense.
