In the summer of 1863, General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia advanced into Pennsylvania in a daring offensive to win the Civil War in a single campaign. They met the Union Army at a quiet crossroads town called Gettysburg, and engaged in the greatest battle ever fought on American soil. Three days of combat ended on July 3 with Pickett's Charge, a heroic assault by nine of Lee's brigades against the Union defenses on Cemetery Ridge. Their repulse at the stone wall became known as the "high-water mark" of the Confederacy. At the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery that November, Lincoln used the occasion to deliver his Gettysburg Address, a short, two-minute speech that became the most famous in American history. In this original retelling of the Gettysburg story, Iain C. Martin draws upon firsthand accounts—from the generals to the lowly privates and civilians caught in the epic struggle. Readers will discover history through the experiences of two Gettysburg teenagers—Matilda "Tillie" Pierce and Daniel Skelly. Featuring the artwork of Don Troiani, original photos, full-color maps, interesting tales, and trivia, Gettysburg gives young readers a fascinating look into this great turning point of American history—and just in time for the 150th anniversary of the epic battle.

Excerpt from Our Army in the Great Rebellion: Heroes and Battles of the War 1861-65 Among the most thrilling pages of American History are those which describe the stirring incidents of the famous Generals and their Campaigns, in the Civil War of 1861-65, from the capture of Fort Donelson to Sherman's famous march through Georgia, ending finally in the capture of Richmond, the surrender of the Rebel armies, and the final overthrow of the most gigantic Rebellion recorded in History. Battles and sieges, adventures and incidents, in connection with the great heroes of the war, and much that is of interest in their memorable campaigns, are recorded in this volume, and the descriptions of these stirring events, by the vigorous and graphic pen of Hon. J. T. Headley, enchain the reader with their vividness, and make him, as it were, a spectator of the magnificent and imposing scenes so faithfully portrayed. The four years of civil war through which the United States passed created a history, the record of which is brilliant with the names of heroes and heroic deeds. A quarter of a century or more has elapsed, the smoke and din of battle have passed away and a new generation is now upon the scene, eager to know of the struggle from the pages of history, thus creating a demand for a work which will give an authentic account of the daring deeds and gallant achievements of the brave and faithful men who so nobly defended and preserved our country. The Publisher esteems himself fortunate in having secured the talents of the distinguished author of this work, who has achieved a world-wide reputation as the most popular and graphic writer of military history of modern times, to prepare a book worthy of the theme and the occasion. Mr. Headley's reputation and his facilities for obtaining facts and information, his personal acquaintance with many of the officers and soldiers, his access to official documents, and the additional fact that the Generals now living have contributed to and revised their respective biographies, place the authenticity of this work beyond a doubt, and we offer it to the public as a standard and reliable addition to American literature. The great and peculiar value of this work consists in the fact that, in so small a compass, the author has given a comparatively full biography of the illustrious men whose deeds he celebrates, and, at the same time, correct pictures of the grand historical events in which they performed such important parts. The Book is embellished with portraits engraved on steel in the highest style of the art, by H. B. Hall, from photographs taken from life by Brady, Barnard, (army photographer,) and others; and by spirited battle-scenes, engraved by Roberts, from original designs drawn expressly for this work.

Excerpt from Scouts, Spies and Heroes of the Great Civil War: How They Lived, Fought and Died for the Union; Including Thrilling Adventures, Daring Deeds, Heroic Exploits, Exciting Experiences, Wonderful Escapes of Spies, Scouts and Detectives This book, friendly reader, was not created; like Topsy, it growed. The author or compiler, whichever term you may choose to give him, had for four years past been a not uninter ested observer of the great struggle, which it had been his' duty elsewhere to chronicle. In his researches into the causes and events of the war, its fearful battles, its alternations of light and shadow, its changes of policy, and its final and glorious triumphs, he had had abundant occasion to notice those personal achieve ments, those noble sacrifices, and that fearless devotion to the national cause which have so greatly distinguished this conflict In the pages of a history of the war, such narratives and incidents could find no place; vet it seemed unjust to the great souls who had laid every thing upon their country's altar, with out a murmur or a sigh, that their glorious sacrifices anould not be held in grateful remembrance; and it was from the desire to do some justice to their memory, that at an early day the writer commenced, at first for his own private read ing merely, the collection of narratives and incidents of per sonal adventure and sacrifice in the war. Some of these were found in print, in books, periodicals, and newspapers; Others were preserved in the annals or reports of charitable institu tions, like the Sanitary and Christian Commissions; a few had fimnd record from a poet's pen, and a considerable number8 preface.

*Includes pictures of each general and important people, places, and events in their lives. *Includes an introduction for each general. *Includes bibliographies for each general. Despite the fact that the Civil War began over 150 years ago, it remains one of the most widely discussed topics in America today, with Americans arguing over its causes, reenacting its famous battles, and debating which general was better than others. Americans continue to be fascinated by the Civil War icons who made the difference between victory and defeat in the war's great battles. Within the pantheon of Civil War greats are the Confederacy's Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and the Union's Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman. With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history is Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807 - October 12, 1870), despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. Lee is remembered today for constantly defeating the Union's Army of the Potomac in the Eastern theater from 1862-1865, considerably frustrating Lincoln and his generals. His leadership of his army led to him being deified after the war by some of his former subordinates, especially Virginians, and he came to personify the Lost Cause's ideal Southern soldier. His reputation was secured in the decades after the war as a general who brilliantly led his men to amazing victories against all odds. Thomas Jonathan Jackson is one of the most famous generals of the Civil War, but many of the people he continues to fascinate probably don't remember his whole name. That's because Jackson earned his famous "Stonewall" moniker at the First Battle of Manassas or Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Bee told his brigade to rally behind Jackson, whose men were standing like a stone wall. Ironically, it's still unclear whether that was a compliment for standing strong or an insult for not moving his brigade, but the nickname stuck for the brigade and the general itself. Many still wonder how the outcome of Gettysburg or the Civil War itself may have changed if Jackson had not been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. While all eyes were fixed on the Eastern theater at places like Manassas, Richmond, the Shenandoah Valley and Antietam, Ulysses S. Grant went about a steady rise up the ranks through a series of successes in the West. His victory at Fort Donelson, in which his terms to the doomed Confederate garrison earned him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant, could be considered the first major Union victory of the war, and Grant's fame and rank only grew after that at battlefields like Shiloh and Vicksburg. William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 - February 14, 1891) holds a unique position in American history. Synonymous with barbarity in the South, Sherman is lauded as a war hero in the North, and modern historians consider him the harbinger of total war. As a General in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861-65), Sherman was recognized for his outstanding command of military strategy but criticized for the harshness of the "scorched earth" policies that he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate States, especially in 1864 and 1865. Military historian B. H. Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was "the first modern general." Along with pictures of the generals and important people, places, and events in their lives, you will learn about the Civil War's greatest generals like you never have before, in no time at all.

Get it Now Before the Price Increases! ~BONUS RIGHT AFTER THE CONCLUSION - ACT NOW BEFORE GONE! A not so Civil War Starting in our early school days we read about the Civil War. We learn of the greatest battles, the brave generals, the unprepared troops who valiantly stood up to the opposing forces with honor and dignity. What we do not often learn about is the behind the scenes. The quibbles between the men and the generals. What really happened to start the war. Often we think of this war as a step in the emancipation of slavery. What many don't realize is that the emancipation was only a byproduct of the war. With tensions brewing for years previous, the "freeing" of the slaves could be seen as a mere tactic in a series of moves to gain support. With violent starts, the war raged on beyond what anyone could have foreseen. There were tales of bravery and of foolishness throughout the war. Through this book you will learn about both tragedy and heroics of the men that led and served. Here's just a few things you'll learn about: * What really happened to trigger the war * McClellen's demise as a general * The truth about the famous "Emancipation Proclamation" * Eyewitness stories and accounts of battles Civil War I: Bull Run to Chancellorsville will take you through a side of American history that some novice historians may be unaware of and put you in a front row seat to some of the more decisive battles.
