Download or read book Gettysburg Battlefield Relics and Souvenirs written by Mike O'Donnell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Context and presentation are the central organizing principles around which this study was constructed. Every artifact has been placed alongside other associated with the same time period and/or location on the battlefield. This has allowed me to arrange the book closely following the three day battle chronology with a separate chapter about collecting in the streets of the town. The final chapter examines the products of the best known souvenir makers of the 'Golden Age' of Gettysburg collection (i.e., 1863-1900); a gilded era when the battlefield was scoured to provide materials for a host of stylish shadow boxes, desk ornaments, and similar commercial items ... In the end, this is a simple book with a simple mission: I am using artifacts to tell the story of the battle ... It aspires through an engaging blend of well documented artifacts and contemporary photographs, to tell a compelling story of Gettysburg from a unique vantage point"--P.6.
Download or read book Battle of Gettysburg The Relics Artifacts Souvenirs written by Robert Jones and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Gettysburg ended, but what was left behind, was unimaginable, 51,000 casualties (23,000 Union and 28,000 Confederate). Private residences took in and cared for these suffering soldiers. Without these caring townspeople, the death rate would have increased tremendously. The soldiers realized that they were part of history in the making. As in any momentous event, the participants sought some kind of remembrance from the battle, something they could gaze at in their twilight years and reminisce about being part of such an historical event. Be it a button, a bullet, canteen, photograph, letter, or even a handful of the sacred soil.....just something. Collecting of these relics continued with the veterans, right up until today. The author has spent the last 20 years acquiring and documenting these artifacts and has now included many of them in this book which was released in 2008 (revised 2009). Also included are the rare souvenirs, which now have become collectible in themselves.
Download or read book J Howard Wert s Gettysburg written by Bruce E. Mowday and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Howard Wert was a recent college graduate when the armies of the North and South converged near his family's homestead just three miles outside Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. A militia member and anti-slavery supporter, Wert acted as a guide for Union General George Meade, helping position federal troops in the fields and hills around town. Perhaps more importantly, he collected and labeled artifacts from the battle, including a still-hot Confederate shell that almost hit him near Little Round Top. After the war, Wert resumed gathering relics of the three-day battle, many given to him by veterans of both sides, including weapons, clothing, letters, furniture, and even items related to Lincoln's Address. Now this amazing private collection can be appreciated through more than 120 color pictures and informative text about both the items and Wert's life.

Download or read book Barksdale s Charge written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is “never a dull moment” in this “excellent account” of an overlooked Confederate triumph during the Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg (San Francisco Book Review). While many Civil War buffs celebrate Picket’s Charge as the climactic moment of the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate Army’s true high point had come the afternoon before. When Longstreet’s corps triumphantly entered the battle, the Federals just barely held on. The foremost Rebel spearhead on that second day of the battle was Brig. Gen. William Barksdale’s Mississippi brigade, which launched what one Union observer called the “grandest charge that was ever seen by mortal man.” On the second day of Gettysburg, the Federal left was not as vulnerable as Lee had envisioned, but had cooperated with Rebel wishes by extending its Third Corps into a salient. When Longstreet finally gave Barksdale the go-ahead, the Mississippians utterly crushed the peach orchard salient and continued marauding up to Cemetery Ridge. Hancock, Meade, and other Union generals had to gather men from four different corps to try to stem the onslaught. Barksdale himself was killed at the apex of his advance. Darkness, as well as Confederate exhaustion, finally ended the day’s fight as the shaken, depleted Federal units took stock. They had barely held on against the full ferocity of the Rebels on a day that would decide the fate of the nation.
