Great battles and famous commanders dominated the military history of the Civil War in the Eastern Theater during the period 1863-1865.This book, now in compact e-guide format, includes revealing details of the clash at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the costliest battle ever waged in the Western Hemisphere.
