Originally a study written especially for use at the West Point Military Academy, this book includes extracts from the contemporary reports by the commanders. The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1 to July 3, 1863) was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War and is frequently cited as the war's turning point. Union Major General George Gordon Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, ending Lee's invasion of the North.
