Boritt, Gabor S. (Editor) The Gettysburg Nobody Knows
Oxford Univ Pr 1997 0195102231 / 9780195102239 Hard Cover Fine No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 270 pages. Synopsis Gabor Boritt has invited nine leading authorities to 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 battle do to the people of Gettysburg? What is behind the rise of Joshua Chamberlain to the status of the Hero of the Battle? How did the common soldiers influence the battle? Readers are treated to 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 General Ewell and General Daniel Sickles. And throughout the volume, there is much vivid writing, such as a stirring account of the moment when General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered the First Minnesota to "take those colors," sending the Minnesotans into a struggle that would cost most of them their lives but would help save the day for the Union. Offering the insights of America's eminent Civil War scholars, The Gettysburg Nobody Knows provides a marvelously informative reconsideration of this epic event. "Essays that are uniformly good and that either touch upon seldom studied aspects of the campaign or recast old disputes....A worthwhile addition."--Civil War History

It's a chronicle of motives and emotions, from larger than life figures Lincoln and Lee to young John B. Geyser, a common Union soldier whose drawings enhance these pages.

As their long-separated lives begin to converge at the close of the war, Inman and Ada confront the vastly transformed world they've been delivered.
