Sample Book Insights: #1 My birthdate had meaning because it was linked to the most important battle in American history, Gettysburg. But Lee was more than just a great general at Gettysburg; he was the greatest human who ever lived. #2 The Battle of Gettysburg was a major battle between the North and the South. It took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on July 1 and 2, 1863. The Confederate attack featured brutal hand-to-hand combat, but it ended with U. S. forces still occupying the high ground. #3 After Gettysburg, the Confederates never recovered their offensive ability, and Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia stayed on the defensive for the rest of the war. July 3 marked a turning point, along with the capture of Confederate forces at Vicksburg, Mississippi, by Ulysses S. Grant the next day, July 4, 1863. #4 I grew up learning about the great Confederate commanders Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, who were both educators like my father. I admired Lee for his character, and thought he showed his true character on my birthday in 1863 when he refused to surrender after the Battle of Gettysburg.
