📖 The Scoop
The Long Road to Gettysburg explores one of the bloodiest and most dramatic battles of the Civil War from two vantage points--through the eyes of two actual participants, John Dooley, age 18, a Confederate lieutenant, and Thomas Galway, age 15, a Union soldier.
Their words, seamlessly woven with Murphy's compelling text, coupled with photographs, line drawings, engravings, and maps, provide a real-life soldier's-eye-view of the anxieties of battle preparation, the hardships of battle, the long days of fighting and the sorrowful task of treating the wounded and burying the dead. No reader's picture of the Civil War will be the same after reading this book.
"The excellent use of quotes and descriptions from Dooley and Galway's journals brings authenticity and immediacy to the narrative. By focusing on these two ordinary soldiers, readers get a new perspective on this decisive and bloody battle. A first-rate addition to Civil War collections." --School Library Journal (starred review)
