"A wonderful 'backstage' story of human beings caught up in the greatest battle fought in the Western Hemisphere." (Ken Burns) In the summer of 1863, as Union and Confederate armies converged on southern Pennsylvania, the town of Gettysburg found itself thrust onto the center stage of war. The three days of fighting that ensued decisively turned the tide of the Civil War. In The Colors of Courage , Margaret Creighton narrates the tale of this crucial battle from the viewpoint of three unsung groups--women, immigrants, and African Americans--and reveals how wide the conflict's dimensions were. A historian with a superb flair for storytelling, Creighton draws on memoirs, letters, diaries, and newspapers to bring to life the individuals at the heart of her narrative. The Colors of Courage is a stunningly fluid work of original history-one that redefines the Civil War's most remarkable battle. "Exciting, intelligent and provocative." ( Chicago Tribune ) " The Colors of Courage is a must for anyone interested in the battle of Gettysburg and social history of the Civil War period." ( Civil War News )
