It was especially noticeable in the first day's struggle, and it did not cease nor wane until the last dread encounter had been met and the battle won. Old John Burns shouldering his musket, going to the field, and never yielding until shot through and through by the enemy's bullets, is but a type of the personal interest in the issue which pervaded that army.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Story of the First Day's Fight at Gettysburg On June 28, 1863, the Army of the Potomac, which had been molded, by the skill of Hooker, into as fine a fighting machine of its size as the world has ever seen, was turned over, in Maryland, to General Meade. Its duty at that juncture, was to force Lee, with his large and confident army, to turn back from Pennsylvania, which he had reached through the Shenandoah and the Cumberland Valleys, in the round-about way he had chosen for his attack upon Philadelphia, and then upon Baltimore and Washington. Hooker had spread his army out in the shape of a fan when he moved it from Virginia into Maryland, but the disposition of the seven corps was such that rapid concentration upon a central point would be possible, besides protection from inroads by the enemy. It had been Hooker's plan to interrupt Lee's communications by striking with force up the Potomac, and, for this purpose, Slocum had gone to Knoxville, Md., with his 12th Corps, which was to have been reinforced by French and his 12,000 men at Harper's Ferry. General Halleck would not, however, allow this, and Hooker was relieved, at his own request, on June 28th, and the 12th Corps was moved to Taneytown. With this attack upon the communications in view, the passes of South Mountain had to be guarded, and so Major-General John F. Reynolds, of the 1st Corps, was given the 1st, the 3rd and the 11th Corps and two brigades of Buford's division of cavalry to command, which force became known as the Left Wing, and Major-General Doubleday, of the 3rd Division, took command of the 1st Corps. The Left Wing was moved northward close along the east side of South Mountain, while the 2nd, 5th and 6th Corps (to be joined later by the 12th) bore off to the right, more in the direction of Harrisburg and Philadelphia. When Meade assumed command of the Army of the Potomac, he was fortunate in finding Reynolds thus in charge of the troops nearest the enemy, and where his great ability would likely be of the utmost assistance at an early moment.

Download or read book New York at Gettysburg Classic Reprint written by William F. Fox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York at Gettysburg The following chronicle of events at the battle of Gettysburg is inserted here as introductory to the main body of the report. Something of the kind seemed necessary in recounting the services of the New York troops on that historic field, to show not only their participation in the fighting, but, also, the relation which their action bore to other and more general events as to time, order, and place. The movements of each New York regiment and battery during the bat tle are fully described elsewhere in the historical sketches and addresses pub lished in this report; but the bearing which their action had on other movements can be explained only in some connected narrative reciting the entire story of the battle, and in which the services of each command is told in its due connection. Another history of Gettysburg may seem superfluous and presumptious. But there were New York regiments and batteries in every corps, in every division except one, and in forty-six brigades of the Union army. They fought and fell on every portion of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gettysburg in War and in Peace The heroism of the American soldier has won (as it so well de served, ) the applause and admiration of the world. N ow in the days of tranquil peace, with our country united, prosperous and wonderfully progressive, we are a nation of patriotic citizens. It is that same patriotism that prompts and encourages us to visit the scenes and localities now dedicated and consecrated to the perpetua tion of American valor, there to do homage to the memory of our fallen kindred of the blue or the grey, who, inspired by an intuitive sense of duty, sacrificed all - home, friends, position and life itself - in defense of the cause they thought was right. Let not one thought or bitter prejudice suggest the passions of that awful conflict. The war is over, and with it should terminate every semblance of hatred and every recollection of individual sacrifice. Therein exists the evidence of true patriotism, without which the soldier's valor must be devoid of earnestness and manly courage. Peace reigns supreme, and now in friendship true, United are the boys who wore the grey and blue. Each valiant hero of that sturdy fight Fought nobly for the cause he thought was right.

The fields around us smile in cultivated beauty where lately trod the iron hoof of war fetlock deep in blood. The lordly river, no longer grim with batteries on its banks, and iron-clads upon its surface, nor choked with obstructions in its channel, rolls its majes tic tides in unbroken currents to the sea. And save here and there, where some rude earthwork, overgrown with grass and weeds, scars the landscape, fair nature tells no tale of the devastation of civil strife.

Download or read book Meade and Lee After Gettysburg written by Jeffrey Wm Hunt and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “very satisfying blow-by-blow account of the final stages of the Gettysburg Campaign” fills an important gap in Civil War history (Civil War Books and Authors). Winner of the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table Book Award This fascinating book exposes what has been hiding in plain sight for 150 years: The Gettysburg Campaign did not end at the banks of the Potomac on July 14, but deep in central Virginia two weeks later along the line of the Rappahannock. Contrary to popular belief, once Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia slipped across the Potomac back to Virginia, the Lincoln administration pressed George Meade to cross quickly in pursuit—and he did. Rather than follow in Lee’s wake, however, Meade moved south on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in a cat-and-mouse game to outthink his enemy and capture the strategic gaps penetrating the high wooded terrain. Doing so would trap Lee in the northern reaches of the Shenandoah Valley and potentially bring about the decisive victory that had eluded Union arms north of the Potomac. The two weeks that followed resembled a grand chess match with everything at stake—high drama filled with hard marching, cavalry charges, heavy skirmishing, and set-piece fighting that threatened to escalate into a major engagement with the potential to end the war in the Eastern Theater. Throughout, one thing remains clear: Union soldiers from private to general continued to fear the lethality of Lee’s army. Meade and Lee After Gettysburg, the first of three volumes on the campaigns waged between the two adversaries from July 14 through the end of July, 1863, relies on the official records, regimental histories, letters, newspapers, and other sources to provide a day-by-day account of this fascinating high-stakes affair. The vivid prose, coupled with original maps and outstanding photographs, offers a significant contribution to Civil War literature.
