Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. The Battle of Gettysburg by Frank A. Haskell, edited by Bruce Catton, is a vivid firsthand account of one of the most pivotal battles of the American Civil War, as seen through the eyes of a Union officer. Written shortly after the July 1863 battle, Haskell's detailed letter to his brother captures the chaos, courage, and intensity of the three-day conflict. Serving as aide-de-camp to General John Gibbon, Haskell had a front-row seat to some of the battle's most critical moments, including Pickett's Charge. His narrative is clear, passionate, and deeply personal, offering a soldier's perspective on leadership, sacrifice, and the brutality of war. Bruce Catton, a renowned Civil War historian, provides historical context and editorial framing, enhancing Haskell's account without diluting its authenticity. The result is a powerful, concise chronicle that brings Gettysburg to life through the voice of someone who was there, making it an essential read for Civil War enthusiasts and students of American history alike.

Includes an Introduction by Bruce Catton. "In Catton's Introduction, he states that the book 'is valuable in two ways. First of all, this Union officer was on the staff of the divisional commander who held the precise part of the Federal line against which was directed the most famous military assault in American history, Pickett's Charge. During all of it, he was in the exact storm center; and in this account, with the heat of battle still on him.he tells just what happened there, under the battle smoke that must always dim the sight of later generations."
