The Battle of Gettysburg is a landmark event in United States
history. Widely recognized as the Civil War's turning point, 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 history
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 on the second day and the death march
known as Pickett's Charge on the third and final day. He paints
portraits of each army's leaders, such as 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 iconic speeches of all time, the
Gettysburg Address. "Gettysburg" delivers one of the hallmark
events of American history in an exciting and innovative
format."Wayne Vansant has authored a graphic account of the Battle
of Gettysburg with rich illustrations and narrative that makes
history come alive. This book will not only spark an interest in
the terrible battle and sad aftermath, but will provide the reader
with a good understanding of the men and armies memorialized at
Gettysburg National Military Park today." - "John Heiser,
Historian, Gettysburg, PA"
