This work provides an authoritative illustrated examination of the
second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, analyzing both grand
strategy, and the tactical decisions of Day Two and the ensuing
combat. July 2, 1863 was the bloodiest and most complicated of the
three days of the Battle of Gettysburg. 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.
