Story
The largest gathering of Union and Confederate veterans ever held was front-page news throughout the country. “[It] will be talked about and written about as long as the American people boast of the dauntless courage of Gettysburg,” declared a woman who accompanied her father to the reunion. But as the years passed, the memorable event was all but forgotten. John Hopkins’s The World Will Never See the Like: The Gettysburg Reunion of 1913 goes a long way toward making sure the world will remember.

Wonderful story about a highly unknown event in American History
Reviewed: 03-19-24
I was deeply moved several times during the course of this book. The writer brought up many logistical challenges to hosting the event that most people would not have expected. That along with the fact that at the time, train and boat were the primary mode of transportation in America. I was awestruck by the fortitude of the old veterans on both sides during the arduous, hot week of July when they conducted this reunion. As a veteran myself, I was proud of the class and dignity with which both sides behaved some 50 years after this tumultuous battle which so defined US History. The stories within are heartwarming and deeply moving.
This book should be required reading for everyone under 40 years of age in this country, perhaps they then would not be so easily triggered or inclined to hold a “ tribunal” whenever a slight offense overcomes them.
