Torn Families - Death and Kinship at the Battle of Gettysburg (Paperback)

The Battle of Gettysburg lasted only three days but involved more
than 160,000 soldiers--Union and Confederate. Seven thousand died
outright on the battlefield; hundreds more later succumbed to their
wounds. For each of these soldiers, family members somewhere waited
anxiously. Some went to Gettysburg themselves in search of their
wounded loved ones. Some were already present as soldiers
themselves. In this book are extraordinary--and sometimes
heartbreaking--stories of the strength of family ties during the
Battle of Gettysburg. Fathers and mothers, siblings and spouses all
suffered together, even as they drew strength from one another.
Their stories are told here with the help of excerpts from diaries,
letters and other correspondence, which provide a first-hand
account of the human drama of Gettsyburg on the battlefield and the
home front.
