The story of Gettysburg is one that echoes across time, forever famous for the role it has played in the history of America--and beyond. In this collection of biographical glimpses, Diana Loski, editor of the Gettysburg Experience Magazine, offers a selection of some of her favorite stories of America's most famous historic town. Having served as a licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park for nine years, Ms. Loski spent considerable time on the field and in libraries and archives, discovering the lesser known lives shared within these pages. Whether it was the soldier, the commander, the civilian, or even the horse--their stories are compelling, both individually and collectively, in painting the immense cataclysmic history of an otherwise ordinary American village.
