Much more than an account of advances and retreats, this is the story of the men and women who heard the whine of shells and felt the sting of wounds during three horrible days of the bloodiest, most desperate engagement of the Civil War. Includes the complete text of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

Excellent account of the Battle of Gettysburg for ages 8-12, also great reading for all ages. Covers the days of June 1863 through the July battle, the aftermath and President Lincoln's November address. ( )

This was my first Civil War book growing up and I've been addicted ever since. Maybe this is because I live in PA and have been to Gettysburg, but this YA lit is captivating and really tells the story of the turning point of the Civil War. Highly recommended! ( )
