About this title

Synopsis

When War Passed This Way is the story of the Civil War in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania and Maryland as seen through the eyes of the community of Greencastle, Pa. This small border town was located right in the path of some of the war's major events such as: Union General Robert Patterson's Campaign in 1861; the Confederate invasion of 1862; Robert E. Lee's Gettysburg Campaign of 1863 and the burning of Chambersburg in 1864. Utilizing many previously unpublished sources, the authors have provided an in-depth look at how a civilian population dealt with adversity during this nation's most tragic conflict. Out of print for several years and demanding collectors' prices, White Mane Publishing Company has made this bestselling book available again, complete with errata sheet.
