During three days in July 1863, the armies of the South under General Robert E. Lee and the armies of the North commanded by General George G. Meade clashed in the hills and dales surrounding the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. When the battle ended on July 3, more than 46,000 soldiers had been killed, wounded, captured, or gone missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHistoric Photos of Gettysburg\u003c\/em\u003e recounts the events of this momentous battle. From the carnage at Devil’s Den and Pickett’s Charge to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and the 50th and 75th reunions of the veterans from both sides, this look at the scene of the conflict, its aftermath, and its commemoration brings together in one volume a comprehensive visual record of this pivotal event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in these pages are hundreds of historic photographs, made by Civil War photographer Mathew Brady and many others, all published in striking black and white.
