Roads to Gettysburg: Lee's Invasion of the North, 1863

Roads to Gettysburg: Lee's Invasion of the North, 1863

The men of the Union and Confederate armies experienced a mix of emotions during Robert E. Leeâ€™s first phase of the Gettysburg campaign. Leeâ€™s veterans experienced a sense of wonder and excitement as they journeyed north from Fredericksburg, Virginia, while the Federal troops showed resolve and some depression. All were footsore by the long marches and often had little food or water. Roads to Gettysburg: Leeâ€™s Invasion of the North, 1863 provides a day-by-day account of the preliminary phases of the campaign and follows the two armies from their positions in central Virginia after the Battle of Chancellorsville to their final arrival on the battlefield. Numerous quotes and maps richly illustrate the armiesâ€™ activities during this seminal period.
