Eighteen sixty-three began with Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the field and ended with the Southern armies in tatters but still engaging George C. Meade's Army of the Potomac. THE STORM TIDE traces the history of the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, and provides a series of easy-to-follow tour guides to the battlefields today. In addition to a live narrative of the battles, the book contains 239 period photographs and line drawings, 234 photographs that illustrate the driving tours, 102 original maps, 43 sidebars on military strategy, 103 biographical sketches, a chronology of key battles and important events, sources for additional travel information, a bibliography, and an index.
