In a groundbreaking, comprehensive history of the Army of Northern Virginia’s retreat from Gettysburg in July 1863, Kent Masterson Brown draws on previously untapped sources to chronicle the massive effort of General Robert E. Lee and his command as they sought to move people, equipment, and scavenged supplies through hostile territory and plan the army’s next moves. Brown reveals that even though the battle of Gettysburg was a defeat for the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee’s successful retreat maintained the balance of power in the eastern theater and left his army with enough forage, stores, and fresh meat to ensure its continued existence as an effective force.

Table of contents:

One Take what is necessary for the army

Two The flies and vermin of the dog days

Three We must now return to Virginia

Four All that was dear to me is gone

Five The scene was wild and desolating

Six That vast procession of misery

Seven An awful time crossing South Mountain

Eight Use your sabres, don’t strike, but thrust

Nine The cutting and slashing was beyond description

Ten Nowhere is safe

Eleven By the blessing of providence, I will do it

Twelve A strong line of gopher holes

Thirteen I would die before being taken prisoner

Fourteen It is heart-rending to live among such scenes
