Gettysburg, the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on North American soil on July 1,2,3, 1863, mid-way through the greatest and bloodiest war in American history.His regiment, made up of kith and kin from his own county in the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania, stood fast on the bloody field, until literally pushed from the field by overwhelming numbers of Confederates. His is a true story of valor and gallantry in the face of tremendous and murderous odds, taken from the letters and histories left by the survivors. |
