I do not recall the title, or other details of the book, but it was a graphic-rich history of that war much like the American Heritage volume. Given I was reading it in a Toronto library in 1962-64. it is likely the book was published shortly before that time, it was not an 'old' book when I saw it. Both pictures of the 'devil's den sniper' were included. I mentioned this to a Gettysburg tour guide on one of my visits there. Needless to say he had never heard of that second photo.. A mystery of history, and publishing, too. Those two photographs were published in a book about the Civil War that I read as a teenager in the mid sixties.

I actually pulled up this web site trying to find that photo to show my neighbor. I have visited Gettysburg so I may have seen the photo then.
