On this day in 1863: Battle of Gettysburg begins

It was on this day in 1863 that the largest battle ever fought in the western hemisphere began in southern Pennsylvania. The three-day Battle of Gettysburg was a major Union victory. Afterwards the Confederates were unable to mount major offensives against the Northerners.

Thousands are expected to converge on Gettysburg for the 150th anniversary of this pivotal battle.

Below you will find a collection of my Civil War posts that I hope you will enjoy.
