"Joseph K. F. Mansfield, Brigadier General of the U.S. Army" by John Mead Gould is a historical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. This book provides a detailed account of the events surrounding the mortal wounding of General Mansfield during the Battle of Antietam, which took place on September 17, 1862. The narrative serves as both a tribute to the general and an exploration of the confusion and many conflicting claims regarding the exact circumstances of his injury. The book recounts the final moments of General Mansfield's life on the battlefield, emphasizing his leadership and the chaotic conditions of the engagement. Gould, who served in the 10th Maine Volunteers, provides perspective from the ground, detailing how Mansfield directed his troops and the moments leading up to his wounding. As he interacted with his men amid the battle's turmoil, the narrative captures the fog of war, the challenges of identifying the correct location of key events, and the camaraderie of soldiers. It also addresses the confusion that followed Mansfield's injury, noting various accounts from others involved, revealing how memory and perception can distort historical events over time.
