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."
