First Printing. Written and Illustrated by Wayne Vansant. The Battle of Gettysburg is a landmark event in United States history. Widely recognized as the Civil Wars turning point, it accounted for the most casualties of any battle during the war and spelled the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. In this powerful graphic history, Wayne Vansant describes the history leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg, as well all of the major military events on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, including the famous fight for Little Round Top on the second day and the death march known as Picketts Charge on the third and final day. He paints portraits of each armys leaders, such as Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, George Meade, and the then little-known Joshua Chamberlain. Vansant concludes a few months later at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery in November, 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most iconic speeches of all time, the Gettysburg Address. Gettysburg delivers one of the hallmark events of American history in an exciting and innovative format. Softcover, 6" x 9", 96 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.

Recently orphaned after their parents, vocal abolitionists, are killed, the two boys both feel driven to continue their parents' quest.
