-- First serious account of the Battle of Gettysburg's impact on civilians
-- An inspiring chronicle of heroism off the battlefieldWhen the battle at Gettysburg ended, over 21,000 Union and Confederate wounded lay helpless in the shattered woods and decimated fields surrounding the small town. As both armies withdrew they left the care of the wounded -- and the burial of the dead -- to a stunned citizenry.
Amazingly, an unprecedented number of volunteers from both North and South, including the U.S. Sanitary Commission and the U.S. Christian Commission, soon descended upon the isolated town, bringing with them much-needed medical attention, supplies, and food.
This powerful narrative recounts the courageous acts that continued long after the battlefield was silent, and reveals the often-forgotten costs of war.
