"Four score and seven years ago..." begins Abraham Lincoln's beautiful speech commemorating the three-day battle that turned the tide of the Civil War. The South had been winning up to this point. So how did Union troops stop General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North? With black-and-illustrations throughout and sixteen pages of photos, this turning point in history is brought vividly to life.

After LIncolns speech the three day battle turned into a war. You should go read this book because it gives gret details about the battle of Gettysburg. I can relate to this book because my granpa read it to me when I was young. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars because I liked learning about the battle of Gettysburg.

I give this book a four star because it really shows a lot of detail from the Civil War. It shows people fighting for their country to be one. The book even talks about Abraham Lincoln, and how he had to try to stop the war. The book is very interesting. I think you should read this book.

I learned a lot about the Civil War. Such a scary battle with a lot of dead soldiers. I went there a few summers ago. I wish I had this book first.
