When the battle at Gettysburg ended; over 21;000 Union and Confederate wounded lay helpless in the shattered woods and decimated fields surrounding the small town. As both armies withdrew they left the care of the wounded--and the burial of the dead--to a stunned citizenry. Amazingly; an unprecedented number of volunteers from both the North and South; including the U.S. Sanitary Commission and the U.S. Christian Commission; soon descended upon the isolated town; bringing with them much-needed medical attention; supplies; and food. Now available for the first time in paperback.
