The Civil War generation saw its world in ways startlingly different from                  our own. In these essays, Glenn W. LaFantasie examines the lives and experiences of                  several key personalities who gained fame during the war and after. The battle of                  Gettysburg is the thread that ties these Civil War lives together. Gettysburg was a                  personal turning point, though each person was affected differently. Largely                  biographical in its approach, the book captures the human drama of the war and shows                  how this group of individuals -- including Abraham Lincoln, James Longstreet, Joshua                  Lawrence Chamberlain, William C. Oates, and others -- endured or succumbed to the                  war and, willingly or unwillingly, influenced its outcome. At the same time, it                  shows how the war shaped the lives of these individuals, putting them through                  ordeals they never dreamed they would face or survive.
