"THE BEST CIVIL WAR NOVEL EVER WRITTEN EVEN BETTER THAN THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE."    QUOTED FROM STEPHEN B. OATES

    JULY, 1863. ALL THAT MONTH, THERE IS HEAT AND WILD RAIN. THE ARMY OF NORTHER VIRGINIA IS INVADING THE NORTH. CHERRIES ARE RIPENING IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE MEN EAT HANDFULS OF THEM AS THEY MARCH. THE CIVILIANS HAVE FLED, AND HOUSES ARE DARK. THE ARMIES MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE HEAT AND THE DUST.                      GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE HAS MADE THIS DARING AND MASSIVE MOVEMENT IN TO THE NORTH BECAUSE HE IS DETERMINED TO DRAW OUT THE ARMY OF THE POTOMACK SO THAT HE MAY MORTALLY WOUND IT.  HE HAS ABOUT 70,000 MEN...........
