| Summary |
"Eighty-seven (four score and seven) human interest stories show men and women in the grip of danger, sacrifice, and strong emotion. The living and dead are Confederates and Yankees, soldiers and civilians, male and female, young and old. The photographs convey the essential reality of the battlefield--"a terrible beauty"-- Provided by publisher |

"The authors thank Gettysburg College and the Civil War Institute for their generous assistance in financing the cost of the ninety photographic images in this book." |
