On this day, the clash involved five divisions of Confederate infantry and their accompanying artillery battalions, as well as a cavalry skirmish at nearby Hunterstown. The bulk of the Union army engaged on the second day of fighting, including men from the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th Corps.Assisted by superb maps and 3D diagrams, this fascinating work describes the tactical play-by-play, the customary “who did what” of the battle. Among the famous actions covered are Hunterstown and Benner’s Hill, Little Round Top, Devil’s Den, the Rose Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, and Culp’s and Cemetery hills. The critical decisions taken on the second day are examined in detail, and why the commanders committed to them. Gettysburg was—first and foremost—a soldier’s battle, full of raw emotion and high drama, and this work also examines the experience of combat as witnessed by the rank and file, bringing this to life in stunning battlescene artworks and primary accounts from common soldiers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmIllustrator: Steve NoonContributor: Steve Noon (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsBook Series: CampaignAuthor: Timothy OrrRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
