The year is 1879, but the history is not our own. Everything changed on July 3rd, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg. The dead rose up, the shadows darkened, and a Reckoning had begun. Humanity's worst nightmares now walked the waking world. Everything seemed to be heading to Hell in a Handbasket. Humanity, however, was more resilient than the Terrors expected. A secret war began between those who would stand against the Darkness. A few sturdy folks from all walks of life; from schoolmarms to nuns, from Snake-oil Salesmen to sturdy soldiers, children to old coots have risen up to stand between their fellow humans and creatures born in the very pits of Hell. Some were fated to fall, but others stood firm. For the next hour or so, sit back and listen to the stories of horror and heroism; recountings of the sacrifices these unsung heroes have made. Enjoy these ' Tales from the Deadlands.' Be warned, however, these Tales are not for the faint of heart… more

Nestled among the gently rolling farmlands of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, lies the site of one of Americas most pivotal battles. Over three intense days, from July 1 to 3, 1863, a fierce confrontation unfolded between 75,000 Confederate forces and 88,000 Union troops, resulting in 51,000 casualties. Acts of heroism were abundant on both sides, culminating in the infamous Pickett's Charge on July 3, a moment that resonates throughout history. This Union victory not only marked the end of the last Confederate incursion into the North but also signaled the gradual decline of Southern military strength. Just a few months later, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his iconic Gettysburg Address during the dedication of a national cemetery, honoring the fallen soldiers. This insightful publication, first released in 1954 and revised in 1961, is part of the Historical Handbook series by the U.S. National Park Service. The author, a World War I veteran and esteemed Civil War historian, served as the chief historian for Gettysburg National Military Park during the 1950s and 1960s. - Summary by Frederick Tilberg and David Wales more

Nestled in the gently rolling farmlands around the historic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of one of the most pivotal battles in American history. Over the course of three intense days, from July 1 to July 3, 1863, a fierce confrontation erupted between 75,000 Confederate forces and 88,000 Union troops, resulting in a staggering 51,000 casualties. Both sides displayed remarkable bravery, peaking with the iconic Confederate assault known as Pickett‚s Charge on July 3. This Union victory marked the end of the last Confederate invasion of the North and heralded a slow decline in Southern military dominance. A few months later, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his renowned Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the national cemetery, honoring the soldiers who had lost their lives in this fierce conflict. This 1954 publication, revised in 1961, is the ninth installment in the Historical Handbook series published by the U.S. National Park Service. The author, a World War I veteran and esteemed Civil War historian, served as the chief historian for the Gettysburg National Military Park during the 1950s and 1960s. - Summary by Frederick Tilberg and David Wales more

Abner Doubleday began the Civil War as a Union officer and aimed the first cannon shot in response to the bombardment opened on Ft. Sumter in 1861. Two years later, after a series of battles (including Antietam, where he was wounded), Doubleday took over a division in the Army of the Potomac's 1st Corps.These are his memoirs of service in two of the War's great campaigns. At Chancellorsville, a very promising start made by General Hooker against Lee's Confederate forces fell to a defeat when, in Doubleday's estimation, normal and prudent precautions against surprise in the heavily-wooded battlefield were not carried out; he also seemingly apologizes for Hooker's lack of leadership during the battle as a result of his having been stunned by a cannon ball hitting the post against which he was leaning.After Chancellorsville, Hooker was replaced as Army Commander by General George Meade. Doubleday describes the curious circumstances that led the two opposing armies to meet at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. When Doubleday's superior, General John Reynolds, was killed by a sharpshooter on the first day's battle, he took over the 1st Corps and fought it well against converging Confederate divisions that badly outnumbered him. The Corps was forced by battle losses to retire, but its desperate fight bought the time needed for Union reinforcements to pour into Gettysburg and thus prevent a defeat in detail.General Howard of the XIth Corps replaced Doubleday as the senior commander on the field, and mistakenly wrote to Meade that 1st Corps had routed after practically no fighting. Thus, when Meade arrived, he removed Doubleday from command of 1st Corps, replacing him with a more junior general from another Corps. The snub would embitter Doubleday against Meade. This book is in part Doubleday's revenge, as he picks apart Meade's indecision after the battle was essentially won, with the repulse of the famous Pickett's Charge. In his view, Meade could have won the war at that moment. (Summary by Mark Smith) more
