商品描述: Between July 1 and July 3, 1863, massive Union and Confederate armies fought in the fields and hills around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. By the time the smoke cleared close to 50,000 men were casualties.

Remembered as one of the bloodiest battles in American history, 7,863 Americans lost their lives on the fields of southeastern Pennsylvania during the Battle of Gettysburg, including 3,155 Union and 4,708 Confederate troops. The Union victory — often in doubt but ultimately decisive — sent Robert E. Lee's ragged, defeated army back to the South and changed the course of the American Civil War.

Gettysburg commemorates the three-day battle that took place in an "unimportant" Pennsylvania town over 150 years ago, regarded as the turning point of the American Civil War. From the first shots fired on the morning of July 1, 1863, to Robert E. Lee's losing gamble known as Pickett's Charge on July 3 that resulted in thousands of Confederates being driven back by Union forces, Gettysburg is a snapshot of three of the most important days in US history.

Discover rare photos, expertly written articles, intriguing illustrations, and maps detailing the political, military, and social conditions that thrust the sleepy town of Gettysburg forever into the pages of history books.
