Title: Brutal, inspiring, engrossing, a fine history book!
Product review: For the serious Civil War reader, this is a must! Billy Williams brings alive the haunted streets of the little college town of Gettysburg as its people struggled to survive the three darkest days in American history. Two enormous armies tore at each other relentlessly, men fighting and dying on the porches of the town, in the streets, the gardens, the schools. You will meet many of the residents of Gettysburg and will feel the terror that they felt as they dodged snipers' bullets, nursed the wounded, closed the eyes of the dead. There is heroism and cowardice, sacrifice and selfishness in this well done offering. When the battle was over, the armies left 50,000 casualties behind in once pretty little town. Graphic, agonizing, inspiring, loving...this book is all of that. A true star in the many offerings of that most savage of times in our history.
