"Here they are penetrating the heart of a hostile country leaving their homes beyond broad rivers and the largest of the enemies armies while in front of them is gathering all of resistance that can be obtained by a power fruitful of every element of military power."
—Confederate soldier T.G. Pollock on the 30th of June, 1863, the day before the Battle of Gettysburg
