Full Description
From July 1 to 3, 1863, North met South in the battle of Gettysburg in what was to prove one of the key turning points of the Civil War. This epic clash of arms saw nearly 50,000 casualties on both sides as the Confederate forces under Robert E. Lee desperately sought to break the Union lines, but to no avail. This new study of the battle is based on the views of those who took part. Using a collection of unpublished letters in the collection of the National Museum of the Civil War, Wayne Motts reveals the hopes and fears of those who fought in one of the greatest campaigns in American history. Their testimony, supported by historical images of the letter writers themselves coupled with modern images of the battlefield, bring the realities of the battle of Gettysburg vividly to life.
