J. Howard Wert's Gettysburg: A Collection of Relics from the Civil War Battle (Hardcover)

J. Howard Wert was a recent college graduate when the armies of the
North and South converged near his family's homestead just three
miles outside Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. A militia member
and anti-slavery supporter, Wert acted as a guide for Union General
George Meade, helping position federal troops in the fields and
hills around town. Perhaps more importantly, he collected and
labeled artifacts from the battle, including a still-hot
Confederate shell that almost hit him near Little Round Top. After
the war, Wert resumed gathering relics of the three-day battle,
many given to him by veterans of both sides, including weapons,
clothing, letters, furniture, and even items related to Lincoln's
Address. Now this amazing private collection can be appreciated
through more than 120 color pictures and informative text about
both the items and Wert's life.
