  After a few moments of intense and unexplainable anxiety his junior year of high school, Kevin’s brain health issues began to get worse. Over the next two decades, he experienced unremitting anxiety and months-long battles with intense depression. 
  As a driven athlete and competitor, Kevin became obsessed with finding both the cause and the cure. In spite of the psychiatric community's insistence that a “diagnosis is forever” and “management is the best you can hope for,” Kevin kept searching for just one person who had been diagnosed with a “mental Illness” and recovered. 
  Meanwhile, his issues haunted him into early adulthood, leading to hospital stays and a suicide attempt that nearly ended it all. Open to trying any healing modality that offered the hope of a cure, Kevin tried 1,000s of therapies and drugs. “What’s wrong with me” became his mantra. “What’s wrong with me” became the echoing backdrop that was both driving his brain health condition and propelling him forward with an obsession to find answers.

  The wind never truly dies in the Urals. 
   
  It prowls the valleys and ridgelines like a restless spirit, rattling bare birches, hissing across the frozen stone. At night it screams—long, feral cries that curl around the peaks like warning songs. The Mansi hunters had long ago given one of those mountains a name: Kholat Syakhl, the Mountain of the Dead. 
   
  In the dim light of February 1959, the mountain waited. Snow drifted across its slopes, erasing tracks, swallowing sound, hiding the small traces of what was to come. Soon, nine figures would climb its shoulder, laughing, weary, defiant against the cold. They would pitch their tent there, a fragile canvas wall against an indifferent wilderness. 
   
  And within hours, the mountain would keep them forever.

  A unique visual account: “The hour-by-hour maps of the maneuvering and fighting provide the clearest cartographic picture of the battle in existence.” —James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom   In this extraordinary book, seventy crystal-clear color maps and insightful text tell the hour-by-hour story of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Each map shows the same three-and-a-half-by-four-and-a-half-mile view of the battlefield, allowing the reader to visualize the battle as it developed over the entire area, including key engagements, troop movements and positions, and locations of commanders. It sheds new light on important events such as the first clash west of town on July 1, the fighting for Cemetery Hill, the defense of Little Round Top, Pickett’s Charge, and more.   “The accompanying text brings the battle alive and nicely compliments the maps.” —D. Scott Hartwig, author of To Antietam Creek   “The movements are depicted clearly, and in full color, so that even a complete newcomer to the battle can follow the action easily.”—Craig L. Symonds, author of The American Heritage History of the Battle of Gettysburg
