A Groundbreaking Study on a Topic Too Long Ignored

Revisado: 03-24-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

It’s seldom these days that anyone writes anything completely new and fresh about an aspect of the Gettysburg campaign in the American Civil War. Ron Kirkwood’s “Too Much for Human Endurance” is a refreshing exception. The author provides an unparalleled look at a topic that has escaped so many Civil War writers, i.e. What happened to the soldiers after they were wounded and how did nineteenth century civilians, farms and towns handle unthinkable mass casualty events like the battle of Gettysburg?

Ron Kirkwood has done a stellar job of doing the primary source research required to craft such an authoritative and gripping work. It’s replete with not only never before published facts about the Eleventh Corp Union hospital at Gettysburg but also human interest stories of the George and Elizabeth Spangler family and the hundreds of soldiers treated at their farm.

Bob Neufeld’s excellent narration brings this book to life as only Neufeld can do. So if you want ground breaking research written in a clear comprehensive style coupled with riveting stories of real people living through the horrors of war, this is for you. I believe that Ron Kirkwood’s work will become a classic of the genre. Don’t miss this one.
