Guelzo shows us the face, the sights and thesounds of nineteenth-century combat- the stone walls and gunpowder clouds of Picketts Charge; the reason that the Army of Northern Virginia could be smelled before it could be seen; the march of thousands of men from the banks of the Rappahannock in Virginia to the Pennsylvania hills. What emerges is a previously untold story of army life in the Civil War- from the personal politics roiling the Union and Confederate officer ranks, to the peculiar character of artillery units. Through such scrutiny, one of historys epic battles is given extraordinarily vivid new life. Author Biography Allen C. Guelzo is the Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era and Director of Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College. He is the author of Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation- The End of Slavery in America and Abraham Lincoln- Redeemer President, both winners of the Lincoln Prize. Guelzos essays, reviews, and articles have appeared in publications ranging from the American Historical Review and Wilson Quarterly to newspapers such as The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Wall Street Journal.
