Abstract: "Gateway to Gettysburg: The Second Battle of Winchester chronicles the Federal military disaster that heralded the commencement of the Gettysburg campaign. Union commander Robert H. Milroy vowed to hold Winchester "in spite of fate." Newly appointed confederate Second Corps commander Richard S. Ewell was equally determined to "gobble up" Milroy's isolated division. Four days in June of 1863 settled the contest between the men, and set the stage for the greatest battle in American history."--Jacket.
