The story of Matthew Mason and his family is a story of valor in the face of overwhelming odds, of ingenuity when such was absolutely necessary for survival, of family when clinging together was a necessity for life itself. How they survived the tumult is, indeed, a story of the triumph of the human spirit. In 1865 the Civil War was over but not the economic and social war that was waged against the people of Northern Virginia during the uneasy peace that followed. The Mason family was a part of the Quaker community that came to the Shenandoah Valley in Northern Virginia in the early 16th century. They were there before the United States was born, even before Virginia was a state. They were an extension of the historic Mason family that was instrumental in the founding, not only of their state but of the United States of America. As pacifists they were not a part of the Civil War that had ravaged their valley for five disastrous years. Despite using their Hopewell Meeting House for a hospital for Union and Confederate soldiers alike, they were held accountable for the war by the Union administration just like the rest of the Old South. Their taxes were ten times what they were before the war, even though their confederate dollars were worthless and the banks were closed. The "Carpetbaggers," Northerners who saw an opportunity to get rich on the misery of the defeated South, came in droves to take their farms if they couldn't raise the money to pay the taxes. To this turmoil came the Ku Klux Klan attempting to insert itself into every aspect of life with their burning crosses and their constant threats to the people, both black and white. Avoiding conflict had become a way of life for the Mason family and the other Quaker families who lived together North of Winchester, Virginia while the Civil War had raged around them. In the years following the shooting war another war raged, one just as devastating, and just as life changing. It was one they had to win.

“Horses,” she whispered. And with that one word five-year-old Ruth Scott set in motion a family saga that would test the measure of a son's courage, a mother's conflict between love of family and love of country, a father's commitment to keep a promise, and a daughter's extraordinary gift. In the early morning hours of October 10, 1862, Confederate Major General J.E.B. "Jeb" Stuart and 1800 of his cavalry splashed across the Potomac River and rode toward Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Rebel army, had given the order for a raid in the hope that it would arouse the Union army to action. Along the way, the gray troopers passed through the quiet town of Mercersburg. The people in and around the town could do nothing to stop them. Tom Scott and his boy militia, the “Mercersburg Invincibles,” were the only ones to offer any resistance, but in the end, they stood as prisoners before none other than Stuart himself. The Rebels finally rode on, leaving the town in turmoil and the Scott family forever changed. Tragically, this would not be the last time that the Rebels invaded Pennsylvania. In the following year, Tom and his family received terrible news that sent them on a journey to the embattled town of Gettysburg.

Once again, the soldiers, officers, and commanders tell the story in this third volume of Kevin Campbell’s comprehensive work on the Gettysburg Campaign, Journey to Armageddon. The hardships, comradery, short rations, and the dance with the enemy’s bullets and shells are all here. Blistering sun, drenching rains, chocking dust, sticky mud, played out horses and men, and the high-level, often inharmoniousness communications between army commanders and their governments are presented in these pages. Fortunately, not all is despair and doom. Included are the sometimes-humorous interactions with the civilians met along their journey and the acrimony that frequently filled encounters between hungry soldiers and the administrators of the villages and towns they passed through. The tales told by these hardy men about the events of their existence are significant elements within the story of the Gettysburg Campaign, which author Kevin Campbell tells in a clear and concise prose. Most historians who write of the great crusade gloss over these events in favor of the more prominent proceedings in and around Gettysburg. These often-ignored events and much more are incorporated into his complete treatment of the Union and Confederate armies on their journey to Armageddon.

A guide to the Gettysburg Civil War battlefields and their history, featuring lesser-known sites, side trips, and optional stops along the way. "I thought my men were invincible,” admitted Robert E. Lee. A string of battlefield victories through 1862 had culminated in the spring of 1863 with Lee’s greatest victory yet: the battle of Chancellorsville. Propelled by the momentum of that supreme moment, confident in the abilities of his men, Lee decided to once more take the fight to the Yankees and launched this army on another invasion of the North. An appointment with destiny awaited in the little Pennsylvania college town of Gettysburg. Historian Dan Welch follows in the footsteps of the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac as the two foes cat-and-mouse their way northward, ultimately clashing in the costliest battle in North American history. Based on the Gettysburg Civil War Trails, and packed with dozens of lesser-known sites related to the Gettysburg Campaign, The Last Road North: A Guide to the Gettysburg Campaign offers the ultimate Civil War road trip. “Orrison and Welch have created something different. Historians must search for innovative ways to engage the public on the battle’s relevance. This book offers a new experience for tourists—one that enriches their visit to the site of one of the most consequential battles in American history.” —Matt Arendt, TCU, for Gettysburg Magazine “Shows a deep knowledge of the subject and the style of writing is clear and easy to follow . . . buy this book!” —Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy

The American Civil War still captivates our interest. As the war entered its third summer, the Confederate army met the Union army in July 1863, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. During the second day of this three-day battle, some of the most brutal fighting occurred at Little Round Top. This story describes the bloody fighting that took place between the Union's 20th Maine and the South's 15th Alabama. It also describes how two fictional soldiers meet on Little Round Top and become friends. This meeting portrays those that often took place between opposing soldiers. They were random acts of compassion during a brutal war. These soldiers pushed aside their differences to become friends. In an act of kindness, one of these soldiers initiated their friendship, while the other cemented their friendship by a personal sacrifice he later made. It was a friendship that would last for years.
