Gettysburg: A Novel of the Civil War
The story takes place in 1863 when Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia are victorious at the Battle of Gettysburg instead of the United States. (Instead of attacking the Union line on July 2, 1863, Lee conducts a broad turning movement and forces the Army of the Potomac to attack him in a favorable position.) Gettysburg becomes something of a footnote in the main battle, which takes place at Union Mills in Maryland. The defeat at Union Mills is a grave setback to the United States, but it by no means spells the end of the war or determines its outcome, and the United States still has a lot of fight in it.
Henry Louis Baugher
During the American Civil War, the Gettyburg College stood in its midst. Elements of the two conflicting armies swept through campus on July 1, 1863, the first day of the decisive Battle of Gettysburg. Pennsylvania Hall at Gettyburg College became a hospital for wounded soldiers from both sides of the conflict. 
On November 19, 1863, Henry Baugher gave the benediction at the ceremony opening the cemetery at Gettysburg; speaking after Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address.
Baugher’s presidency of Gettysburg College was noted by his stern disciplinary practices and high standards. According to Professor Edward S. Breidenbaugh, Baugher believed "that reverence for superiors, submission to authority, and obedience to the rules and regulations of the College were indispensable to the formation of a good character, he inculcated and enforced the duty of loyalty both by counsel and authority . . . [and] he was proficient in detecting those guilty of misdemeanors and violations of the college laws." According to Samuel Gring Hefelbower, who was president of Gettysburg College from 1904-1910, Baugher’s severity was "tempered with Christian love."
