The Battle of Gettysburg lasted only three days but involved more than 160,000 soldiers-Union and Confederate. Seven thousand died outright on the battlefield; hundreds more later succumbed to their wounds. For each of these soldiers, family members somewhere waited anxiously. Some went to Gettysburg themselves in search of their wounded loved ones. Some were already present as soldiers themselves.
In this book are extraordinary-and sometimes heartbreaking-stories of the strength of family ties during the Battle of Gettysburg. Fathers and mothers, siblings and spouses all suffered together, even as they drew strength from one another. Their stories are told here with the help of excerpts from diaries, letters and other correspondence, which provide a first-hand account of the human drama of Gettsyburg on the battlefield and the home front.

Torn Families: Death and Kinship at the Battle of Gettysburg
"The alienation of white middle-class voters led to a new kind of urban reform. In the era when minority complaints drove the reform agenda, the threat of civil disorder drove municipal reform. Today, it is the threat of exit, tax revolt, or secession." (11)
"African Americans are established and older, and depend to a greater degree on government jobs that do Latinos. They hold political positions they consider imperiled by changing demographics and political demands. Their support of Hahn was founded on familiarity with the Hahn family, but also had an element of defense against an uncertain future. Also Democrats, Latinos are younger and more insurgent. Less dependent on government jobs, they draw their union base from the County Federation of Labor and private employers. The two-headed minority movement both strengthens the Democratic party base in Los Angeles and fractures the progressive movement, reducing the inevitability of a shift to the left." (223)
