These Honored Dead - How The Story Of Gettysburg Shaped American Memory (Paperback): Thomas Desjardin These Honored Dead - How The Story Of Gettysburg Shaped American Memory (Paperback)
Thomas Desjardin
R760 Discovery Miles 7 600 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ever since the guns of Gettysburg fell silent, and Lincoln delivered his famous two-minute speech four months after the battle, the story of this three-day conflict has become an American legend. We remember Gettysburg as, perhaps, the biggest, bloodiest, and most important battle ever fought-the defining conflict in American history. But how much truth is behind the legend?In "These Honored Dead," Thomas A. Desjardin, a prominent Civil War historian and a perceptive cultural observer, demonstrates how flawed our knowledge of this enormous event has become, and why. He examines how Americans, for seven score years, have shaped, used, altered, and sanctified our national memory, fashioning the story of Gettysburg as a reflection of, and testimony to, our culture and our nation.
