For three days in July 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and Union General George Meade’s Army of the Potomac fight in the largest and perhaps most important battle of the Civil War. For the first time the South invades a northern state, colliding with Meade’s army at Gettysburg. War stories of heroic soldiers like Colonel Strong Vincent, who successfully defends Little Round Top, are recounted. The battlefield and the brave young men who fight with valor take their place in history.
