520    "The stories of the doctors, nurses and patients at the 
       Union Army's hospital in Gettysburg come to life in this 
       unique Civil War history. Those who toiled and suffered at
       the Army of the Potomac's XI Corps hospital at the George 
       Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. But 
       Ronald D. Kirkwood, a journalist and George Spangler Farm 
       expert, shares their stories-many of which have never been
       told before-in this gripping and scholarly narrative. 
       Using a wealth of firsthand accounts, Kirkwood re-creates 
       the XI Corps hospital complex and its people-especially 
       George and Elizabeth Spangler, whose farm was nearly 
       destroyed in the fateful summer of 1863. A host of 
       notables make appearances, including Union officers George
       G. Meade, Henry J. Hunt, Edward E. Cross, Francis Barlow, 
       Francis Mahler, Freeman McGilvery, and Samuel K. Zook. 
       Pvt. George Nixon III, great-grandfather of President 
       Richard M. Nixon, would die there, as would Confederate 
       Gen. Lewis A. Armistead, who fell mortally wounded at the 
       height of Pickett's Charge. Kirkwood presents the most 
       complete lists ever published of the dead, wounded, and 
       surgeons at the Spanglers' XI Corps hospital, and breaks 
       new ground with stories of the First Division, II Corps 
       hospital at the Spanglers' Granite Schoolhouse. He also 
       examines the strategic importance of the property itself, 
       which was used as a staging area to get artillery and 
       infantry to the embattled front line."--|cProvided by
