Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 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 Devi…l's Den and Little Round Top, and reenacted Pickett's Charge. History remembers their reunion through black-and-white photographs of veterans charging across farm fields and shaking hands across the stone wall where they once tried to kill each other. In The Old Soldiers Show, Lee Vetter 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. From June 29 to July 4, 1913, the veterans (average age: seventy-two) gathered at Gettysburg, representing forty-six of forty-eight states. Nearly 9,000 Confederates made the journey north of the Mason-Dixon Line to the site of their defeat. A vast tent city was constructed on the battlefield, staffed by the U.S. Army and the Boy Scouts. Most of the battle's generals were dead or too infirm to travel, but ninety-three-year-old Daniel Sickles, the rascal general who lost a leg at Gettysburg attended and held court for anyone willing to listen. Grandchildren of George Meade, James Longstreet, and George Pickett were there. For the most part, the reunion unfolded peacefully, with the notable exception of a fight that broke out - over Abraham Lincoln - in the mess tent that left seven stabbed (they recovered). Otherwise, the old soldiers reunited with friends, swapped stories at the battlefield's landmarks, and engaged in shenanigans, such as the impromptu raid Union veterans launched on the Confederate section of the encampment. 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. The Old Soldiers Show offers a unique perspective on the Battle of Gettysburg, the Civil War, and American history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Shopping for a last-second gift on Christmas Eve isn't for the faint of heart.The Westbrook Trading Company is a struggling department store, slowly losing its battle with online shopping. With flickering fluorescent lights, outdated shelves, and the relentless buzz of the Rat Pack Christma…s playlist, the store is a weary monument to a retail era long gone by. But tonight, it's the unlikely epicenter of desperation, nostalgia, and absurdity.As crowds descend in search of the elusive Plastic-Thing-3000-this year's must-have gadget-an ensemble cast of bargain hunters, exhausted employees, and misguided romantics collide in a night of chaos, longing, and tender moments. At the helm is Archibald Hensley III, a joyless miser clinging to cassette tapes and outdated ideals, whose personal regrets echo through the aisles like the Ghost of Christmas Gone Wrong.Between a pastor who cut his service short to go last minute shopping, a mother trying to win a toy for her daughter, a chintzy snow globe with too much history, and two best friends fumbling to relive their glory days, the night unfolds as a bittersweet, darkly funny reminder that sometimes the worst places bring out the most human parts of us.A Retail Carol is a satirical holiday story for anyone who's ever spent Christmas Eve fighting for a parking space, battled for a bargain, or tried to buy love with a receipt. Christmas shopping fiction; department store Christmas story This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
