Abstract:
The Daniel Lady Farm in Gettysburg was the northernmost Confederate hospital during the Civil War. It was the site where Confederate wounded from Culp’s Hill (members of Major Gen. Edward Johnson’s division of the Army of Northern Virginia) were brought for medical treatment.
This story follows the Confederate army from northern Virginia to Gettysburg, chronicling events that took place over a time period of mid-June to July 4, 1863. And the book includes a vivid description of the devastation their occupation of the barn and farmhouse caused the Daniel Lady family after the army retreated back to Virginia.
