Perfect for young students of the battle or veteran campaigners who want lighter fare - much of it they have never heard before, this book presents stories so compelling, the reader will not want to put it down.

On the Bloodstained Field presents nearly 300 compelling human-interest stories from the Battle of Gettysburg that are so fascinating that it is nearly impossible to stop reading. Did you know that a dog was probably one of the first casualties in the battle? Or that a "gentleman's duel" took place during the fighting on July 2?

Few know that a soldier committed suicide during the fighting, or that three brothers were killed by a single shell, and that a Gettysburg farmer lost several thousands of dollars in gold stolen by a Confederate general. On the Bloodstained Field is perfect for young students of the battle or veteran campaigners who want lighter fare - much of it they have never heard or read before.

A wonderful compliment to A Strange and Blighted Land and A Vast Sea of Misery.
