The Battle of Gettysburg 1863 (3): The Third Day
The Battle of Gettysburg 1863 (3): The Third Day
An authoritative and superbly illustrated exploration of the events of July 3, 1863, incorporating new interpretations that have arisen in the past two decades. The third day of the Battle of Gettysburg was the most climactic of the three. Among the iconic clashes that took place is General Lee's last assault at Gettysburg, the 12,500-man attack known as "Pickett's Charge," in which Lee's soldiers suffered more than 60 percent losses. Further key moments were the action at Culp's Hill-arguably where the battle was won or lost-and Lee's decision to send forward three divisions against the Union center, even when the odds did not appear to favor success. This final volume in Timothy J. Orr's trilogy emphasizes the tactical decisions of Day Three and documents the ensuing combat in detailed 2D maps, 3D diagrams and previously unpublished photographs. It also includes a brief summary of the strategic and human consequences of the campaign, carrying the story to November 19, 1863, the day of Lincoln's famed "Gettysburg Address." Primary accounts from common soldiers infuse this volume, reminding readers that Gettysburg was-first and foremost-a soldier's battle. The experiences and military materiel of these men are brought to life in stunning detail in Steve Noon's dramatic battlescenes.
