Title:
The Last Road North: A Guide to the Gettysburg Campaign, 1863

Synopsis:
Historians Robert Orrison and Dan Welch follow in the footsteps of the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac as the two foes cat-and-mouse their way northward, ultimately clashing in the costliest battle in North American history. Based on the Civil War Trails system and packed with dozens of lesser-known sites related to the Gettysburg campaign, The Last Road North: A Guide to the Gettysburg Campaign offers the ultimate Civil War road trip, including the Confederate advance, the Union response, Jeb Stuart’s ride, the battle, and the retreat from Gettysburg.
