Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberty Hollinger was a sixteen-year-old girl living in Gettysburg when the greatest battle ever fought on the North American continent erupted around her. With courage and strength, she dealt with the trials of occupation by the invading Confederate army. In her own front yard, she was witness to the fears of the South's greatest general, Robert E. Lee. For three days, she lived with the horror of battle. After the armies departed, she gave herself to the task of caring for the wounded they left behind. When time came for President Lincoln to consecrate Gettysburg's hallowed ground, she witnessed first-hand the President's deep sorrow. In her later years, at the Fiftieth Reunion of the Battle of Gettysburg, she witnessed the gathering of veterans Blue and Gray, when brotherly fellowship finally erased the bitterness of Civil War. Still, the traumatic events of the battle and its aftermath had left indelible memories. Near the end of her life, Liberty Hollinger preserved her memories for her family in a brief memoir. Its first-hand accounts are the basis for much of this book. While other authors have recently discovered the copy of her memoir in the Adams County Historical Society and included an incident or two in their books, this book contains all the material of her memoir, put in context of the events surrounding her accounts.

Book Synopsis Armistead and Hancock by : Tom McMillan
Download or read book Armistead and Hancock written by Tom McMillan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a war of brother versus brother, theirs has become the most famous broken friendship: Union general Winfield Scott Hancock and Confederate general Lewis Armistead. Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels (1974) and the movie Gettysburg (1993), based on the novel, presented a close friendship sundered by war, but history reveals something different from the legend that holds up Hancock and Armistead as sentimental symbols of a nation torn apart. In this deeply researched book, Tom McMillan sets the record straight. Even if their relationship wasn’t as close as the legend has it, Hancock and Armistead knew each other well before the Civil War. Armistead was seven years older, but in a small prewar army where everyone seemed to know everyone else, Hancock and Armistead crossed paths at a fort in Indian Territory before the Mexican War and then served together in California, becoming friends—and they emotionally parted ways when the Civil War broke out. Their lives wouldn’t intersect again until Gettysburg, when they faced each other during Pickett’s Charge. Armistead died of his wounds at Gettysburg on July 5, 1863; Hancock went on to be the Democratic nominee for president in 1880, losing to James Garfield. Part dual biography and part Civil War history, Armistead and Hancock: Behind the Gettysburg Legend clarifies the historic record with new information and fresh perspective, reversing decades of misconceptions about an amazing story of two friends that has defined the Civil War.

Book Synopsis Gettysburg's Peach Orchard by : James A. Hessler
Download or read book Gettysburg's Peach Orchard written by James A. Hessler and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating illumination of little-known accounts and personalities” by two experts on the Battle of Gettysburg (Civil War News). The historiography of Gettysburg’s second day is usually dominated by the Union’s successful defense of Little Round Top—but the day’s most influential action occurred nearly one mile west along the Emmitsburg Road, in farmer Joseph Sherfy’s peach orchard. This is the first full-length study of this pivotal action. On July 2, 1863, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee ordered skeptical subordinate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet to launch a massive assault against the Union left flank. The offensive was intended to seize the Peach Orchard and surrounding ground for use as an artillery position to support the ongoing attack. However, Union Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickles, a scheming former congressman from New York, misinterpreted his orders and occupied the orchard first. What followed was some of Gettysburg’s bloodiest and most controversial fighting. General Sickles’s questionable advance forced Longstreet’s artillery and infantry to fight for every inch of ground to Cemetery Ridge. The Confederate attack crushed the Peach Orchard salient and other parts of the Union line, threatening the left flank of Maj. Gen. George Meade’s army. The command decisions made in and around the Sherfy property influenced actions on every part of the battlefield. The occupation of the high ground at the Peach Orchard helped General Lee rationalize ordering the tragic July 3 assault known as Pickett’s Charge. This richly detailed study is based on scores of primary accounts and a deep understanding of the terrain. The authors, both Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guides, combine the military aspects of the fighting with human interest stories, in a balanced treatment of the bloody attack and defense of Gettysburg’s Peach Orchard.

Book Synopsis Rebels in Repose: Confederate Commanders After the War by : Allie Stuart Povall
Download or read book Rebels in Repose: Confederate Commanders After the War written by Allie Stuart Povall and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The irascible Jubal A. Early, Robert E. Lee's "bad old man," went to Canada after the war and remained an unreconstructed Rebel until his death. Lee became president of Washington College and urged reconciliation with the North. Braxton Bragg never found solid economic footing and remained mournful of slavery's demise until his own, when a heart attack took him in Galveston. The South's high command traveled dramatically divergent paths after the dissolution of the Confederacy. Their professional reputations were often rewritten accordingly, as the rise of the Lost Cause ideology codified the deification of Lee and the vilification of James Longstreet. Allie Povall shares the stories of nineteen of these former generals, touching briefly on their antebellum and wartime experiences before richly detailing their attempts to salvage livelihoods from the wreckage of America's defining cataclysm.
