Book Synopsis Haskell of Gettysburg by : Franklin Aretas Haskell
Download or read book Haskell of Gettysburg written by Franklin Aretas Haskell and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All students of the Civil War are indebted to Frank Haskell for his classic description of the battle of Gettysburg. A lieutenant on the staff of John Gibbon, Haskell stood at the focus of the Confederate assault on July 3, 1863. He wrote of the battle in a letter to his brother. When it came to light after the war it became and remains probably the most read and repeated account of Civil War combat written by a participant. It captures wholly the terrible fascination that the Civil War--and Gettysburg--holds for all Americans. Haskell wrote other letters (thirty-one in this collection) and attained the rank of colonel before he was killed at Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864.This 1989 paperback reprinting of the 1970 edition contains a new preface by Frank L. Byrne.

Book excerpt: In this unique series the Civil War comes vividly to life. Here an eyewitness accounts--many available for the first time in decades--by generals, journalist, and ordinary foot soldiers, both blue and gray, who relive the conflict in all its terrible glory. Each volume brings you a human perspective on the war--its most decisive battles, its most remarkable personalities. Gettysburg: Two Eyewitness Accounts is American history at its finest--and a reading experience you will never forget. In some ways it epitomized the entire war: three hot days in July filled with missed opportunities, great courage, inconsistent leadership, and horrific, relentless carnage. In rare volume we see the battle from both sides, as experienced by two very different combatants, one Union and the other Confederate. From Little Round Top to Devil's Den to Pickett's Charge, Lt. Frank A. Haskell and Col. William C. Oates, one in a meticulous hindsight and the other still feverish with war, re-create three days that changed American history. Here are the momentous decisions of Lee, Longstreet, and Meade. Here are the fatal maneuverings of the forces in the field. And here, in descriptions unmatched in Civil War literature, is all the heartbreak and triumph of Gettysburg.

Download or read book The Battle of Gettysburg (Expanded, Annotated) written by Frank Aretas Haskell and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Haskell's eyewitness account of the Battle of Gettysburg has been considered a classic for nearly 140 years. Haskell was not only singled out by General Hancock for praise of his actions in the battle, he was quoted in Ken Burns' epic Civil War documentary.The Dartmouth-educated Haskell provided a compelling and exciting narrative in a long letter to his brother, written just days after the battle. First published privately by his brother in 1878 (Haskell was killed at Cold Harbor), it was later reprinted for the public.Haskell's details are to be found nowhere else and make for a superb first-person account of one of America's most important battles.Men of the Philadelphia Brigade, however, took exception to Haskell's portrayal of their men at Gettysburg. Included in this edition is their 1910 reply to a narrative that was never intended for publication. The reply is a somewhat amusing statement but is in itself an interesting example of the passions that Gettysburg has generated for well over a century.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Book excerpt: A Soldier's First-Hand Account...An Eyewitness Civil War Dispatch "The book is an account written a few days after the battle by one who, though only a staff officer, took so prominent a part that he was promoted from a lieutenancy to a colonelcy for his bravery. On the third day of the conflict he happened to be the only mounted man in the field, and, says Gen. F. A. Walker, 'rode between the two lines, then swaying backward and forward under each other's fire, calling upon the men of the Second Division to follow him, and setting an example of valor and self-devotion, never forgotten by any man of the thousands who witnessed it.' He is a master of good English....Particularly interesting is the description of the council of war held by Gen. Meade in the bedroom of a little farmhouse; and it would be difficult to find a more thrilling narrative than his account of the repulse of the final assault. Col. Haskell was killed in the battle of Cold Harbor, and about fifteen years later, this story, written for his brother, was printed for private circulation. In 1898 it was reprinted in this history of the class of 1854, Dartmouth, of which he was a member. These editions were so small that they attracted little attention. It is now printed again 'as an incentive to patriotic thought.'" -The Nation

Download or read book The Battle of Gettysburg written by Haskell Franklin Aretas and published by . This book was released on 1907 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eyewitness accounts are some of the best resources to bring history to life. Nearly 150 years have passed since the Battle of Gettysburg. Since then, countless histories, poems, stories, plays and movies have been created to honor and remember the momentous American event. The very first account, which remains among the best, was written by Union Colonel Frank A. Haskell only weeks after the battle. Haskell arrived with the Union Second Corps on July 2nd and spent the day defending various positions including Cemetery Ridge and the Peach Orchard. He was present at the council of war meetings of General Meade and his commanders. Haskell?s position saw some of the heaviest fighting during Pickett?s Charge. After General Gibbon was wounded, Colonel Haskell was credited with rallying the troops to repel the rest of the Confederate assault. Just weeks after the battle, he recorded his experiences. Sadly, only months later, he was killed leading a charge at the Battle of Cold Harbor. His writings were published in 1898 in a book titled, "The Battle of Gettysburg." To this day, Frank A. Haskell?s experiences are regarded as some of the best accounts of Gettysburg and are indispensable in the study of the battle.

Book Synopsis Sickles at Gettysburg by : James A. Hessler
Download or read book Sickles at Gettysburg written by James A. Hessler and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sickles is as dividing a figure in Civil War history as there is. In his masterful work . . . Hessler . . . puts him out there with all his wrinkles” (Confederate Book Review). Winner of the Robert E. Lee Civil War Roundtable of Central New Jersey’s Bachelder-Coddington Literary Award Winner of the Gettysburg Civil War Roundtable’s Distinguished Book Award By licensed battlefield guide James Hessler, this is the most deeply-researched, full-length biography to appear on this remarkable American icon. No individual who fought at Gettysburg was more controversial, both personally and professionally, than Major General Daniel E. Sickles. By 1863, Sickles was notorious as a disgraced former Congressman who murdered his wife’s lover on the streets of Washington and used America’s first temporary insanity defense to escape justice. With his political career in ruins, Sickles used his connections with President Lincoln to obtain a prominent command in the Army of the Potomac’s 3rd Corps—despite having no military experience. At Gettysburg, he openly disobeyed orders in one of the most controversial decisions in military history. Hessler’s critically acclaimed biography is a balanced and entertaining account of Sickles colorful life. Civil War enthusiasts who want to understand General Sickles’ scandalous life, Gettysburg’s battlefield strategies, the in-fighting within the Army of the Potomac, and the development of today’s National Park will find Sickles at Gettysburg a must-read. “The few other Sickles biographies available will now take a back seat to Hessler’s powerful and evocative study of the man, the general, and the legacy of the Gettysburg battlefield that old Dan left America. I highly recommend this book.”—J. David Petruzzi, coauthor of Plenty of Blame to Go Around: Jeb Stuart’s Controversial Ride to Gettysburg
