In July 1863 two great armies converged on this little crossroads town in southern Pennsylvania. For three days the battle that takes place here will become one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. Gettysburg will never be the same again. This class will include details of the three day battle, as well as a plethora of human interest stories that make this story so unique. Please note: this is semester two of a three-semester course; it is not necessary for you to have taken the first semester.
