Animal Histories of the Civil War Era (Earl J. Hess - A) sock Civil War scholar and twenty-six-year

Civil War scholar and twenty-six-year Gettysburg resident Mark Snell goes beyond the campaign itself to explore the “culture” of the battlefield

while also pressing the president to emancipate the country’s slaves and recognize black rights

McMurry’s study is not a traditional military biography but a lively and opinionated conversation about major campaigns and battles

Interwoven with previously unpublished diary entries

and the town caters to its visitors
