Summary: "The Battle of Gettysburg" by Franklin Aretas Haskell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a firsthand narrative of the pivotal battle during the American Civil War, detailing strategies, troop movements, and personal observations of the soldiers engaged in conflict. Given Haskell's position as aide-de-camp to General John Gibbon and a participant in the battle, his account aims to convey the intensity and significance of the events that transpired. The opening of "The Battle of Gettysburg" establishes the context of the battle, detailing the apprehensions felt by the Army of the Potomac as they prepared to confront the Confederate forces. Haskell vividly describes the emotional state of both the soldiers and their leaders, including doubts about their command, particularly under General Hooker, and the subsequent relief felt with General Meade’s leadership. The opening portion also introduces the strategic importance of Gettysburg, setting the scene for the fierce engagement that follows, while Haskell reveals insights into military organization, the battlefield's physical geography, and the determination of the troops as they face the prospect of imminent conflict.
