Although Stonewall Jackson was dead, Confederate morale was never
higher. The victory at Chancellorsville had come against
overwhelming odds, and the Southerners savored the sight of the
Union army in retreat. In less than a year's time, the Federals had
been pushed back from the outskirts of Richmond and now virtually
out of Virginia. Thus begins Gettysburg, the newest
addition to The Civil War Battle Series, the Brannon family saga
that has been praised as "robust, detail-rich and
well-paced...equal parts pathos and accuracy" (Publishers Weekly)
and "fraught with passion, tension, and tenderness" (Booklist).
Will and Mac, the two eldest Brannon sons, are in the ranks of the
Stonewall Brigade and Jeb Stuart's cavalry. A short bivouac allows
them to visit the family farm for some rest and recuperation from
the fighting. Almost as soon as Will rejoins his company, Jackson's
former corps marches up the Shenandoah Valley, sweeping the Union
troops out of Winchester. A natural route to the North lies open,
and Lee's army heads in that direction. The eventual clash known as
the battle of Gettysburg occupies the rest of the book. Will, who
is involved from the first day, is kept in the thick of the combat
around Culp's Hill and the right side of the Union line. Mac
arrives on the evening of the second day, and he sees action with
the Southern cavalry at Hanover. Both are swallowed up in the melee
of the fighting, and neither emerges unscathed. Bruised and
bleeding, the Confederate army stumbles back into Virginia, leaving
a fourth of their number behind on the Pennsylvania ground. News of
the defeat and the huge number of casualties spreads quickly. Like
thousands of families across the South, the Brannon clan in
Culpeper County anxiously awaits word of the fates of two sons.
