During the summer of 1913, more than 53,000 Civil War veterans descended on Gettysburg for the fiftieth anniversary of the great battle. Over the course of six days, the old soldiers told stories over campfires and mess tables, heard from speakers like President Woodrow Wilson, visited Devil's Den and Little Round Top, and reenacted Pickett's Charge. Old Soldiers Never Die brings these events to colorful life in a well-written book that explores the emotional and often humorous encounters between former enemies half a century after the Civil War's turning point. Relying on contemporary newspaper accounts, Lee Vetter captures the grand sweep of the Great Gettysburg Reunion through the stories of the old men who assembled to relive the battles of their youth and held the rapt attention of a country, north and south, eager to find common ground fifty years after the Civil War. Old Soldiers Never Die offers a unique perspective on the Battle of Gettysburg, the Civil War, and American history.
