The Old Soldiers Show : Stories From the 1913 Gettysburg Reunion by Lee Vetter
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4 MB
Overview: During the summer of 1913, more than 53,000 Civil War veterans descended on Gettysburg for the fiftieth anniversary of the great battle. Over the course of six days, the old soldiers told stories over campfires and mess tables, heard from speakers like President Woodrow Wilson, visited Devil’s Den and Little Round Top, and reenacted Pickett’s Charge. History remembers their reunion through black-and-white photographs of veterans charging across farm fields and shaking hands across the stone wall where they once tried to kill each other. In The Old Soldiers Show, Lee Vetter brings these events to colorful life in a well-written book that explores the emotional and often humorous encounters between former enemies half a century after the Civil War’s turning point.
