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.

Novices and experts of Civil War history will gain insight into this thoroughly researched and documented account of the George Spangler field hospital at Gettysburg. Kirkwood offers the reader a deeply personal, factual look into not only the bloodiest battle fought on American soil, but also the Civil War as it represents mankind's propensity for war and the suffering that inevitably ensues. His focus on this specific field hospital draws the reader into intimate proximity to a place and to the human souls who succumbed and endured there. Kirkwood presents medical procedures, warfare technologies, unbearable sights and sounds, filth, squalor, human tenderness and anguish, heroes and scoundrels. First person accounts speak to the reader's basic humanity in ways that connect them to this important setting: one that has now taken its rightful place in the annals of the shared history of this nation. Sections peppered throughout the book labeled, "Spangler Short Stories" reveal individual lives and the stories they told. Some are comical, some touching and many beyond tragic.
High praise goes to Ron Kirkwood in revealing this time and place to the listener. Expert narration by Bob Neufeld lends itself to the story and makes the listener wonder how these people endured that which was indeed: Too Much for Human Endurance.
