The aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg resulted in thousands of equines killed and wounded. Horses were turned into expendable implements of war, trained, and prepared for battle. There is more to this story, however. When an army's means and survival is predicated upon an animal whose instincts are to flee not to fight, a bond of mutual trust and respect must be forged. This story deserves telling, from a time not so far removed. This book discusses the types of horses, training, maintenance, and bond between the rider and horse. The book also goes into detail about the horse at the Battle of Gettysburg"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aGettysburg, Battle of, Gettysburg, Pa., 1863 606 $aWar horses$zPennsylvania$zGettysburg$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aPennsylvania$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xCavalry operations 615 0$aGettysburg, Battle of, Gettysburg, Pa., 1863. 615 0$aWar horses$xHistory 676 $a357.1097309034 700 $aBagley$b Chris$01464240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795981603321 996 $aThe Horse at Gettysburg$93673815 997 $aUNINA
