Though at the time the 1913 gathering was a widely anticipated, momentous commemoration with 50,000 spectators joining the 50,000 veterans, the grandest of all gatherings of Civil War veterans has been all but forgotten in the nearly 100 years since that occasion.Until now.GETTYSBURG, 1913: THE COMPLETE NOVEL OF THE GREAT REUNION (originally published as a 3-part serialized novel) Travel back in time to meet and spend the occasion of the Great Reunion with unforgettable characters in this meticulously researched tale. 9780985754778 098575477X 0 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=pYlxvgAACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
