Gettysburg: The Confederate High Tide by Champ Clark (1985) (R41a1) The Civil War #15 HC

On July 1, 1863, a small division of Union cavalry came into unexpected contact with Southern troops on the Chambersburg pike just west of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, igniting almost by accident the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. For three days, the fighting raged, claiming the lives of nearly 28,000 men on both sides and tolling the death knell for the Confederacy. With all the visual power and comprehensive coverage you have come to expect from Time-Life Books, this volume captures the sweeping course of events at Gettysburg, from its relatively innocuous beginnings to Pickett's Charge and the agonizing Confederate retreat. Supplemented by maps showing troop movement and strategies, and illustrated with black-and-white photographs of soldiers and full-color paintings of battle scenes, this history conveys the tragic waste and terrible devastation of the most costly conflict of the Civil War--the battle that signaled the end of Robert E. Lee's hopes for a Confederate victory.
