Death be not proud. At Gettysburg it was savage, bloody, and the grim reaper was very busy for three days in July of 1863. The late author and Gettysburg historian describes in sober detail many of the deaths and the wounded of both Union and Confederate soldiers and what happened to the soldiers bodies after the battle. A fascinating and sober read.
