Gettysburg Is Haunted!

by Marie Morrison

More than 7,000 people died in the three days of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. It's the bloodiest and goriest battle fought to date on American soil. It's easy to imagine that some of those soldiers haunt the battlefield to this day. This book gives readers a chance to look back in time at the history of Gettysburg, from the first shots fired to the desperate, bloody fight and the Confederacy's final retreat. Primary sources highlight the battle's historical context as a major turning point in the American Civil War. Intriguing maps show details of where so many soldiers died and where their ghosts are said to still linger today.
