One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war.

His early science fiction short stories were published in \u003ci\u003eGalaxy\u003c\/i\u003e magazine in 1952. He later began writing other works of fiction and published more than seventy short stories in many magazines, including \u003ci\u003eThe Saturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRedbook\u003c\/i\u003e. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Broken Place\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1968. But it was a simple family vacation to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1966 that gave him the inspiration for his greatest achievement, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1974.
