          • S1.5E3: Orphans

            The war burns itself out, leaving only cinders, dead men, and their orphans. What legacies are left behind? What terrible wounds will never heal? And will we learn from the past to save the present?

          • S1.5E2: Lady and Devil

            No one is safe from the smell of brimstone and gunpowder as local families are drawn into the fight for America's soul. And as Union and Confederate forces turn Gettysburg into Hell on Earth, they invite the Devil himself to hold court on a throne of bone and blood.

          • S1.5E1: The Pit

            When the fires of war burn, how much blood does it take to douse the flames?

            158 years ago, America's sons tore themselves to shreds in the small farm town of Gettysburg, turning the once peaceful place into a slaughterhouse. With simmering dissension again dividing the United States, what lessons do the ghosts of Gettysburg have to teach their wayward ancestors? And what terrible harvests does hate sow in the fertile killing fields?

          About These Things Betwixt

          From the publisher's feed

          Since you first drew breath, mystery has infused your every moment. With one foot in the material world and one in the immaterial realms beyond, truth is blurry and the walls are thin.
