Download or read book Their Silent Vigil written by Robert J. Nixon and published by Tate Pub & Enterprises Llc. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visitors flock to the battlefield to witness in person the hallowed ground of the Gettysburg National Military Park, which contains perhaps the largest outdoor collection of stone and bronze sculptures in the world. It is certainly the most memorialized baulefield in the United States. And while they may be drawn by the history of Gettysburg, many are compelled by the monuments, markers, and tablets that dot the landscape. Many of monuments tell stories and provide details of the battle that few have ever read. In some cases, the designs are elaborate. In other cases, they are simple. But in all cases, they serve as permanent memorials to the brave soldiers of the North and South who fought with all of their hearts and souls and died for what they believed. This book opens the door to the monuments of the Gettysburg National Military Park, which for so long have held their silent vigil over the ground that cost so many so much. Their Silent Vigil, Volume One, contains drawings of every regimental monument, clearly displaying every inscription and feature. with painstaking attention to detail, Robert Nixon has created and organized this amazing collection of depictions. Applying his engineering background and creativity, he has fashioned an informative and enduring tribute to the sacrifices made with courage, honor, and loyalty. This provides that tribute in a clear, easy to read format that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your home or while sitting on the boulders of Devil's Den.

Download or read book Silent Sentinels written by George Newton and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2005-09-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artillery played an important and perhaps decisive role at the July 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. Although many hundreds of books have been published on the battle, few have focused on the artillery. Silent Sentinels fills this flaring gap in the literature. This well-written and illustrated study was designed for both the casual battlefield visitor and the serious scholar. The former will use Silent Sentinels to tour the battlefield, browse existing guns, ponder the many photographs, and learn more about artillery in general; the latter will find the extensive primary sources, diagrams, appendices of numbers and losses, and informative discussion of organization and tactics an indispensable reference resource. Silent Sentinels discusses in detail every gun-type used at Gettysburg, the equipment needed to operate the guns, their organization, and the tactics employed by both Union and Confederate artillery men. In addition to a history of the artillery and how it was used, the author includes chapters on the park’s collection of 436 guns, the pieces on display at the field today, how to identify the different types of cannon, and how to identify the date and place of manufacture. Silent Sentinels concludes with a driving tour of the battlefield, specially designed with the artillery in mind. This lovely historical guide, complete with detailed endnotes and bibliography, will be a welcomed addition to the growing Gettysburg titles.
