In what may be the longest, and most poignant, letter to a relative from a soldier in the Civil War, this authoritative book recounts an officer's experiences in the bloody, three-day battle at Gettysburg in the summer of 1863.

Union Colonel Frank A. Haskell vividly describes each day's events and what they wrought: the wounded, the skirmishes, attacks and counterattacks, estimates of losses, marks of battle, and the burial of the dead. One of the war's best eyewitness accounts, this classic narrative will be treasured by Civil War buffs and required reading for students of American history. Unabridged re-publication of the second edition of The Battle of Gettysburg, published by the Wisconsin History Commission, 1910.

Dover Publications, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches, 92 pages including 2 maps.
