- Dedication
- To Francie, a blithe, lovely spirit who shared the adventures and sorrows of two wars and whose memory has served as a sustaining inspiration for this project.
- First words
- The story of the Battle of Gettysburg actually begins in Virginia, after Lee's defeat of Hooker at Chancellorsville, when the hopes of the Confederacy were high and the morale of the North correspondingly low.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The result was that Grant actually, although not in name, commanded the Army of the Potomac from then on, while Meade's role became largely an administrative one.
