Adds the only recent treatment to the sparse biographical literature on Meade

Most students of the American Civil War know the name George Gordon Meade, but few can tell you about the man. With this new addition to Brassey’s Military Profiles series, historian Richard Sauers examines the life of one of the Union Army’s most notable generals. Rising from the Union officer corps to lead the previously ill-fated Army of the Potomac, Meade took command only hours before his forces stumbled upon Robert E. Lee’s Confederates at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1863. He led his men to victory in one of the most famous battles in history, but Meade was soon embroiled in political battles with fellow generals and Washington politicians. Despite detractors’ efforts to question Meade’s judgment and smear his reputation—efforts often exacerbated by the general’s own volatile temper and undiplomatic behavior—he continued to put duty to his country and his men first. --David Arthur, Brassey's Inc.

In 1905, the Government Printing Office published the Annual Reports of the Gettysburg National Military Park Commission to the Secretary of War, 1893-1904. In addition to the informative reports in the book, over 300 excellent photographs document the work of the Commission during this period. Most of these photos have not been published since 1905. With seventy-four photos, ranging from 1895 - 1904, and interpretive text, see how much things have changed in the last one hundred years. Roads that no longer exist, towers that no longer stand, and monuments that are not familiar to today's visitors are all included.

Over 75 full-color photographs present a wide array of Gettysburg's architectural treasures.

A unique example of photographic detective work in which the famous battle is re-created almost as if it were a contemporary news event. The reader is transported to the battlefield by the photographs and through the analysis of the photographs to the battle itself. We watch it unfold, action by action. In meticulous close-up fashion, with documentary force, we see the terrible encounters of men at war.

"Fascinating reading... a remarkable book ...will delight Civil War buffs, those interested in the history of photography, and all who have ever walked over an historic battlefield. It should also provide a thoughtful lesson for historians who tend to underestimate what can be learned from a close study of photographs, for Frassanito has given us more than a book of pictures; he has produced a valuable work of scholarship.... He is perhaps uniquely qualified to do this: not only does he have a vast knowledge of early photography and of this particular battle, but he also has an intimate knowledge of the terrain and possesses a detective skill that would be a credit to Lieutenant Columbo." — The Washington Post

"The first definitive photo-historical record of that great battle." — New York Post

"The 'journey' is sobering and memorable." — Publishers Weekly

“To see and hear Gettysburg as the combatants did is, obviously, an impossible quest. The closest one might get to a sliver of what they saw is in Gettysburg: A Journey in Time.” —New York Times Book Review

Reprint of the original 1891 book on the company of infantrymen who came from the town and fought in the Battle of Gettysburg, written by their captain. Now honored with a monument on the town square in Gettysburg, these men were recruited and enlisted in Adams County and later found themselves in the unique situation of fighting in and around their hometowns. During the battle they took part in a charge down what is now known as “Little Round Top.”

It has been long neglected by historians and visitors to the battlefield, but the eastern-most reaches of Cemetery Ridge formed the critical apex of the Union battle line. The land nestled between Culp’s Hill and the Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg is the only ground on which fighting occurred during each of the three pivotal days of the battle. This study invites the reader to tour this seldom explored segment of the battle, using first-hand accounts to help understand the area with a participant's eye.

An interesting account of the only civilian killed at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Although the town of Gettysburg sent many men to fight in the Civil War, legend has it that only one civilian actually emerged from the town of Gettysburg to aid in its defense--John Burns. Burns was nearly seventy years old at the time of the battle. Wounded and captured by the Confederates, Burns' story offers a historic glimpse into the life of an unlikely hero. Including information about his pre war and post war experiences, Smith brings Burns' story to life with meticulous research and numerous first hand accounts.

At least 10,000 soldiers were killed or mortally wounded in the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Over 5,000 of these were deaths suffered by Union officers and enlisted men.

With six million copies in print, The Killer Angels is among the most popular Civil War books ever written. Yet how faithful to history is this novel? Where did the author take license and liberty with his characters and their actions? What became of them after the book ends? Written by the park historian at Gettysburg for nearly two decades, A Killer Angels Companion explores some of these questions and compares historical leaders with those portrayed by Shaara.

Little Round Top was the site of a climactic struggle between Union and Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Adelman, a licensed battlefield guide, presents a tour which solidifies the reader's understanding of troop movements while detailing the fascinating history of Little Round Top's memorialization and visitation over the years. Over twenty tour stops, five maps, and 40 photographs make this book a must for all Little Round Top enthusiasts.

At one time owned by Thaddeus Stevens and known more popularly as the Thompson house, this was a significant feature on the first day’s battlefield.
