At Gettysburg, PA, during three days of July 1863, 160,000 men
fought one of the most fierce and storied battles of the US Civil
War. Nearly one in three of those men ended up a casualty of that
battle, and when the two armies departed a few days later, 21,000
wounded remained. This book is the story of how those soldiers were
cared for in a town of 2,500 people. Historian and author of
several other guides to Gettysburg, James Gindlesperger provides a
context for the medical and organizational constraints of the era
and then provides details about the aid stations and field
hospitals created in the aftermath of the battle. Filled with
historical and contemporary photos, as well as stories about the
soldiers and their healers, this book is a detailed guide for
visitors to the site as well as others interested in American Civil
War history.
