Summary
"In the summer of 1863, as Union and Confederate armies marched on southern Pennsylvania, the town of Gettysburg found itself thrust onto the center stage of war. The three days of fighting that ensued decisively turned the tide of the Civil War. In The Colors of Courage, Margaret Creighton narrates the tale of this crucial battle from the viewpoint of three unsung groups - women, immigrants, and African Americans - and reveals how wide the battle's dimensions were."
"Creighton draws on memoirs, letters, diaries, and newspapers to bring to life the individuals at the heart of her narrative. In telling the stories of these participants, Margaret Creighton has written a work of original history - a narrative that is sure to redefine the Civil War's most remarkable event."--Jacket.

Summary
"One might argue that this act of benevolence between a Jew and his Christian neighbors could have occurred only under the special circumstances of religious freedom and social fluidity that existed on Pennsylvania's postrevolutionary frontier. But recent research shows that such incidents occurred in the Old World as well, even in the settled traditional estate society of the Holy Roman Empire from which Levy's Christian neighbors had come."
