Long Road to Gettysburg by Jim Murphy

On June 3, 1863, nineteen-year-old Confederate lieutenant John Dooley prepared to march on Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Thomas Galway, a seventeen-year-old corporal in the Union army, waited for the battle to begin. Drawing on the written accounts of these young soldiers, Murphy traces the circumstances leading to the dramatic battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln's historic address at the dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg.

Jim Murphy has written over thirty books about American history, including the Newbery Honor Books An American Plague: The Real and Terrifying Tale of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 and The Great Fire. He lives in Maplewood, New Jersey, with his wife and two sons. Visit his website at jimmurphybooks.com for additional information.
