THE SECOND DAY AT GETTYSBURG, JULY 2, 1863

On July 1, 1863, General Robert E. Lee's Southerners stumbled into General George Meade's vanguard of Federal troops near the town of Gettysburg but eventually drove them from the field. The second day brought with it hopes for a decisive victory on both sides--it would prove to be the most pivotal and bloodiest of the three-day battle. Fully illustrated, most in color.
