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

Excerpt: ...infantry and a battery I sent from my camp. The President came down in his quiet way, accompanied by General Cadwallader and a servant, and was not a little surprised in mounting the horse provided for him, richly caparisoned in the trappings of a General Officer, to see himself surrounded by the staff of an Emperor at the head of a Grand Army; turning to me, as the artillery fired the salute, he exclaimed: "Sickles, I am not going to take command of the Army, what is all this for?" The column was formed and we proceeded on the march to my camp, a few miles off. A good many spectators gathered on the road-side, --not one of whom knew the President, --and at length an old farmer said to his neighbor as we passed: --"I guess from the looks of that tall chap and all this fuss, that the 'Yanks' have captured a big prisoner, --who can it be?" "That's so," said the President, smiling, "I'm Jeff Davis"! The review was brilliant. The day was all that could be wished. Thousands of bayonets glittered in the sun, long lines of trains covering the plain in the rear of the troops, --artillery and cavalry on the flanks. When the President rode from the right to the left of the line it was a study to watch the faces of the men as they saw his awkward figure in the saddle, --but if a smile played on their lips there was love in their eyes, as they rested on that sad, earnest, good face most of them beheld for the first and last time. When the ceremonies were over I asked the President to say a fewwords to the troops. He replied: --"No I am not a soldier. These men are going again to battle, where I cannot be with them. I could only say, 'God bless them.'" Calling me back, he added, "Tell them I think I have...

Download or read book Daniel Sickles A Life written by Garry Boulard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name Daniel Sickles and the word controversy are synonymous. Any student of 19th century American political history is familiar with Sickles’ 1859 murder of Philip Barton Key, the son of Francis Scott Key, who had seduced Sickles’ young wife. That murder, because Sickles was at the time a New York Congressman and Key a district attorney for Washington, captured the country’s imagination, a front-page event that inevitably ensnarled President James Buchanan, a close Sickles friend, inviting in the process explorations of what was seen as a sordid Washington society of the late 1850s. Civil War historians know Sickles as the General who led the men of the Union’s III Corps out onto the exposed expanse of the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg, a decision many scholars have regarded as disastrous, and one that nearly led to an overall Union defeat at the famous battlefield, while losing for Sickles his right leg from Confederate shelling. But these two singular, if spectacular events, in a very real sense represent only two days out of an extraordinary lifetime of 94 years. The rest of Sickles’ career was made up of his rise as a young stalwart of New York’s notorious Tammany Hall; his two terms in Congress leading up to the Civil War; his contentious service as a military governor of the Carolinas after the War; his newsworthy tenure as U.S. Minister to Spain in the late 1860s and early 70s; and even his stint, at the age of 70, as the sheriff of the county encompassing New York City. Beyond the headlines were Sickles’ relationships with presidents ranging from Franklin Pierce to Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, not to mention an improbable friendship with Theodore Roosevelt at the turn of the century. Daniel Sickles: A Life is the first full-length published treatment looking in depth at the entirely of one man’s almost unbelievably colorful and contentious career. Garry Boulard is the author of The Expatriation of Franklin Pierce—The Story of a President and the Civil War (iUniverse, 2006), and The Worst President—The Story of James Buchanan (iUniverse, 2015). Boulard’s essays and reviews have appeared in the Journal of Southern History, Journal of Ethnic Studies, Louisiana History, Journal of Mississippi History, and Florida Historical Quarterly, among many other publications.
