EBOOK Gettysburg Nobody Knows

Here, nine leading Civil War historians shed new light on the greatest battle in        our history, focusing in particular on the unknown, the controversial, and what        might have been. What did the conflict do to the citizens of Gettysburg? How did        Joshua Chamberlain come to be seen as the "e;hero"e; of the battle? How did the common        soldiers influence the outcome? Readers also encounter a fresh account of Pickett's        Charge from the rarely described perspective of the Union soldiers, and to careful        new analyses of the battlefield actions of Generals Ewell and Sickles. Throughout        the book appear stories and insights both fresh and fascinatin, such as a stirring        account of the moment when General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered the First        Minnesota to "e;take those colors"e;--and so sent the Minnesotans into a struggle that        would cost most of them their lives but would help save the day for the Union. Rich        with the viewpoints of eminent scholars, The Gettysburg Nobody Knows is a        marvelously informative reconsideration of this epic event.
