Beneath a Northern Sky
Of all the places and events in this nation's history, Gettysburg may well be the name best known to Americans. Millions flock each year to the little town in south-central Pennsylvania where 140 years ago the largest, bloodiest, and most dramatic battle of the Civil War raged across the now-peaceful hills and meadows.
