Gettysburg Civil War Memories

The Civil War battle at Gettysburg will never be forgotten. Here, the events on the first 3 days of July 1863 unfold in accounts by civilians & battle participants. One of the most heartfelt stories comes from the clear recollections of Charles M. McCurdy, who was 10 years old when two armies reached his hometown of Gettysburg. This fresh memoir, previously hidden in family archives, now gives you insight into how the conflict affected this rural Pennsylvania town & a boy's views of war. Most striking are color photos of battle artifacts from the J. Howard Wert Gettysburg Collection. Still intact today, Wert's relics were gathered after the battle. This book resurrects the experiences & emotions of the Civil War in Gettysburg with new intensity.Seitz, Ruth Hoover is the author of 'Gettysburg Civil War Memories', published 1996 under ISBN 9780756779597 and ISBN 0756779596.
