Battle of Gettysburg: A History From Beginning to End Kindle Edition by Hourly History (Hourly History)

Once again, we have a brief, but comprehensive picture of one of the most important battles of the Civil War. Not only do we read a full account of the battle itself, in this brief history, but we also get a concise and accurate picture of what happened in the days and even months before the battle. this is important because it explains why the battle happened as it did, and perhaps why it was so devastating. This is another well-written part of the Hourly History series and I hope it will lead many readers to do further study of this subject. I would point out, however, so that maybe some editing can be done, that there are several typographical errors in this book. While they are small, they do sometimes detract from the excellent writing and research that went into this small book. Thank you for another informative read!

Heroes would be born from places such as Little Roundtop and among the soldiers of Picketts Charge. And later, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, martyrs were created in the aftermath of the conflict, giving reason to a war that no one quite believed in fully until this point.
