Such a tragedy and struggle! This reminds me of the battles in The Book of Mormon , also fought in the Eastern US where many 10s of thousands die in battle.

loved the reading, not so fond of the multiple readers and mispronounced landmarks, such as the Rappahannock , Antietam, and Potomac ....still a good listen


(3 stars)

Some readers are terrific but there is one who reads like an elementary school student...the words are read correctly but the meaning behind the words is gravely missing. Might as well be reading a sing-song lullaby to a sleepy toddler. The material is meaningful, the listening (to this one reader)can induce headaches. Of course this one reader reads the most pivotal chapters...ugh.

Gettysburg, Beginning of the End


(5 stars)

The writing, superb. The battles, horrific. 50,000 dead. Many maimed, disfigured missing limbs. There were no winners, truly. After the battles how men from both sides conversed, trades, kidded & joked.
