A landmark event in United States history, it accounted for the most casualties of any battle during the war and spelled the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. In this powerful graphic history, Wayne Vansant describes the period leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg, as well all of the major military events on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, including the famous fight for Little Round Top and the death march known as Pickett's Charge. He paints portraits of each army's leaders, among them Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, George Meade, and the then little-known Joshua Chamberlain. Vansant concludes a few months later at the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery in November 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most famous speeches of all time: the Gettysburg Address. Gettysburg delivers one of the hallmark events of American history in an exciting and innovative format."-- Back cover. 941 $a 6 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011052.0 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20230629022354.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620011724.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210020333.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020149.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160224010817.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=55F05FBADAC411E58EE179B5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
