A great book on the aftermath and wounded at Gettysburg is "Debris of Battle" by Gerard A Patterson. It is a book that will leave you with a real good mental vision of what happened after the Armies left the field. How this small town already in great turmoil had to come to grips with the aftermath of battle and of all the people converging on the town who wanted to help but also added to the already great shortages that they were dealing with. How camp Letterman came about and how the cleanup of the bodies and animals were handled..Great reading...
