Tom Huntington

As the editor of the late, lamented Historic Traveler magazine, Tom Huntington developed a love for writing that merged stories from the past with journeys of discovery in the present. That was an approach he took with his first two books, Ben Franklin's Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Civil War Trails. His next book, Searching for George Gordon Meade: The Forgotten Victor of Gettysburg (Stackpole Books, February 2013), continued that tradition. In Guide to Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments, Huntington provided a handy pocket-sized reference to the memorials of the Civil War's biggest battle. Maine Roads to Gettysburg (May 2018), tells the stories of the soldiers from the Pine Tree State who fought at the July 1863 battle. His latest book, Maine at 200 (Down East Books, 2020) looks back at two centuries of Maine's statehood. Huntington's many magazine articles have appeared in American Heritage, Smithsonian, Air & Space, British Heritage, America in WWII, Civil War Times, America's Civil War, Invention & Technology and many other publications. He lives in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Beth Ann, and his children, Katie and Sam.
