Gettysburg

by Bruce Catton

Here, from Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Catton, is the dramatic story of the most important battle of the American Civil War: Gettysburg. For three days, from the first shots by Union soldiers to Confederate George Pickett's doomed charge up Cemetery Ridge, Catton brings vividly to life the clash that left some 51,000 Union and Confederate soldiers dead or wounded and altered the course of the war.
