I was embarrassingly ignorant about that city. But, thanks to Google and Wikipedia, I now know about the places mentioned in the book.

Your comment on...Thanks for your thoughtful review. Your comment on the setting of Gettysburg made me really think. For an American, even if you slept through most of your history classes, Gettysburg conjures up distinct images and thoughts. The site of the bloodiest battle of our Civil War and the turning point that resulted in a restored Union, it is still an iconic place in our history.
