Summary
"Camp Curtin is forgotten today by nearly all except die-hard Civil War buffs. Yet during almost five years of operation, more than 300,000 Union soldiers passed through there, making it the largest of the makeshift camps of rendezvous and training set up near major northern cities. In this well-researched chronicle, Miller examines why the camp became 'the most important military post in what was arguably the state most important to the North's war effort.' Named for Andrew Curtin, the tireless pro-Union governor of Pennsylvania, the post was strategically crucial because of its proximity to Washington and Harper's Ferry. Roughly similar to a boot camp, it had the thankless task of instilling discipline into its idealistic but raw volunteers and draftees. Although Miller follows these soldiers as they entered the war's maelstrom at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Petersburg, he writes more vividly about their rude introduction to army regimen at the camp itself, particularly in the disorganized early days of the war."

Summary
"As the confederates advance into Pennsylvania during the Gettysburg Campaign, a group of Franklin & Marshall College students follow Robert Nevin, their former professor of Greek, into the army, forming Lancaster County’s only Civil War artillery battery – Independent Battery I, Pennsylvania Light Artillery. Join the men of Independent Battery I as they await the enemy at the Susquehanna River, and at the threatened state capital of Harrisburg. Learn of the experiences in Philadelphia where they expect to quell draft riots, and follow them as they serve at Harpers Ferry in ‘ironclad’ railcars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and build fortifications on Maryland Heights. March with the men as they are sent to the defenses of Washington DC. Join them as they experience Confederate General Jubal Early’s attack on the city, debate the issues of the 1864 elections, and witness Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, as well as the Grand Review.” [from the publisher]
