Author Allen Guelzo will discuss his new book, Voices from Gettysburg: Letters, Papers, and Memoirs from the Greatest Battle of the Civil War. The book -- a treasure trove of many never-before published original documents – creates a uniquely personal, day-by-day eyewitness account of the monumental collision at Gettysburg, in the words of the commanders, soldiers, politicians, and civilians from both the North and the South who experienced firsthand the changing course of the Civil War. Guelzo is the country's foremost Civil War scholar, a New York Times best-selling author, senior research scholar in the Council of the Humanities at Princeton University, and the director of the Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship for Princeton's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. He is a three-time recipient of the Lincoln Prize, awarded annually for the finest scholarly work on Abraham Lincoln, the American Civil War soldier, or a subject relating to their era.
