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.

This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important figures of the American Civil War penned this fascinating and unique memoir. John Gibbon's recollections of his service at Gettysburg and other great battles is frank and personal. This is not an overview of great battles but a soldier's account of the trials and triumphs of four years of horrific conflict. Gibbon wrote plainly about the great men with whom he served, some of whom he greatly admired and some who were difficult. Here are anecdotes of Lincoln, Grant, Meade, Hancock, Hooker, Pope, and many others that you won't read anywhere else. Gibbon was a central figure at Gettysburg, with Pickett's Charge aimed right at the forces he commanded. Wounded on the third day of the battle, he supplemented his memoir with portions of the outstanding narrative of that day by his aide, Lieutenant Frank Haskell. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1877, these two papers are the account by General John Gibbon of the disaster of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. They are fascinating for their first-hand account by a member of the relieving forces just two days after the battle had begun. Gibbon writes of the lead-up to the expedition and the last time he saw George Armstrong Custer, as the 7th Cavalry rode away up Rosebud Creek on June 22nd, 1876. Five days later, Gibbon and General Alfred Terry came upon an unimaginable scene of horror. He describes his own shock, that of his troops, and the condition of the devastated troopers under Major Marcus Reno, who had survived two days of battle before the Indians left the valley upon the approach of Terry's forces. Nearly 140 years later, the Battle of the Little Bighorn continues to stir up debate and controversy. Forests have been leveled to create a body of popular and scholarly books on the battle.
