The true story of three Gettysburg families—the Culps (of Culp Hill), the Wentzes (of the Wentz House) and the Hoffmans, whose sons left home only to return as confederate soldiers in one of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War—a battle that would tie all three families together irrevocably.
Gettysburg Rebels is the gripping true story of five young men who grew up in Gettysburg, moved south to Virginia in the 1850s, joined the Confederate army - and returned "home" as foreign invaders for the great battle in July 1863. Drawing on rarely-seen documents and family histories, as well as military service records and contemporary accounts, Tom McMillan delves into the backgrounds of Wesley Culp, Henry Wentz and the three Hoffman brothers in a riveting tale of Civil War drama and intrigue.
