The Harrisburg Telegraph says: “…an unique and authoritative book, The Story of the Battles at Gettysburg” will arouse great interest among military men throughout the country.” It is not generally known that the three-day battle of Gettysburg, one of the most important and significant engagements of the Civil War, is included in the course of training of student officers in practically all the European war colleges as an outstanding example of tactics and strategy. Once a year the students of the West Point Military Academy spend several days at Gettysburg in studying the battle problems during the first three days of July 1863. The outstanding features to the military, are the maps of the battlefield…these maps are drawn to scale with careful fidelity and the position of each regiment and branch of service is shown every hour of the day at different stages in the progress of the battles.

Excerpt from The Battle of Gettysburg: From the History of the Civil War in America The battle of Gettysburg was undoubtedly one of the greatest conflicts of modern times, not only from the number of comba tants engaged and the desperate nature of the struggle, but be cause on the now classic heights of Cemetery Ridge, Gulp's Hill, and the Round Tops the future of the American Republic, for weal or for woe, was fought and won on those memorable July days. As decisive in its character and far - reaching results as the battle of \vaterloo, like it, it has been the subject of endless con troversy and military criticism, and has brought forth a multitude of books, pamphlets, and letters, most of which serve but to be wilder and darken visibly the student of history.

Excerpt from The Battle of Gettysburg And this personal responsibility, born of intelligence, was the marked feature in the fighting. It was especially noticeable in the first day's struggle, and it did not cease nor wane until the last dread encounter had been met and the battle won. Old John Burns shouldering his musket, going to the field, and never yielding until shot through and through by the enemy's bullets, is but a type of the personal interest in the issue which pervaded that army.

Excerpt from The Battle of Gettysburg: An Historical Account It is not intended that the narrative shall suggest the passions of the conflict. Nor rouse in the least the bitter feelings Which separated the men on Cemetery Hill from those on Seminary Ridge during the sad days of J uly, 1863. The story is told from the posi tions held by the Army of the Potomac, simply because the Army of the Potomac. Proved the victor; and the consistent aim has been to 're1'ate the plain historic truth.

Excerpt from The Campaign and Battles of Gettysburg Stately palaces now line the avenues so lately filled with charred and smoking ruins. The fields around us smile in cultivated beauty where lately trod the iron hoof of war fetlock deep in blood. The lordly river, no longer grim with batteries on its banks, and iron-clads upon its surface, nor choked with obstructions in its channel, rolls its majes tic tides in unbroken currents to the sea. And save here and there, where some rude earthwork, overgrown with grass and weeds, scars the landscape, fair nature tells no tale of the devastation of civil strife.

Excerpt from New York at Gettysburg The following chronicle of events at the battle of Gettysburg is inserted here as introductory to the main body of the report. Something of the kind seemed necessary in recounting the services of the New York troops on that historic field, to show not only their participation in the fighting, but, also, the relation which their action bore to other and more general events as to time, order, and place. The movements of each New York regiment and battery during the bat tle are fully described elsewhere in the historical sketches and addresses pub lished in this report; but the bearing which their action had on other movements can be explained only in some connected narrative reciting the entire story of the battle, and in which the services of each command is told in its due connection. Another history of Gettysburg may seem superfluous and presumptious. But there were New York regiments and batteries in every corps, in every division except one, and in forty-six brigades of the Union army. They fought and fell on every portion of the field.

Excerpt from A Short Story of the First Day's Fight at Gettysburg On June 28, 1863, the Army of the Potomac, which had been molded, by the skill of Hooker, into as fine a fighting machine of its size as the world has ever seen, was turned over, in Maryland, to General Meade. Its duty at that juncture, was to force Lee, with his large and confident army, to turn back from Pennsylvania, which he had reached through the Shenandoah and the Cumberland Valleys, in the round-about way he had chosen for his attack upon Philadelphia, and then upon Baltimore and Washington. Hooker had spread his army out in the shape of a fan when he moved it from Virginia into Maryland, but the disposition of the seven corps was such that rapid concentration upon a central point would be possible, besides protection from inroads by the enemy. It had been Hooker's plan to interrupt Lee's communications by striking with force up the Potomac, and, for this purpose, Slocum had gone to Knoxville, Md., with his 12th Corps, which was to have been reinforced by French and his 12,000 men at Harper's Ferry. General Halleck would not, however, allow this, and Hooker was relieved, at his own request, on June 28th, and the 12th Corps was moved to Taneytown. With this attack upon the communications in view, the passes of South Mountain had to be guarded, and so Major-General John F. Reynolds, of the 1st Corps, was given the 1st, the 3rd and the 11th Corps and two brigades of Buford's division of cavalry to command, which force became known as the Left Wing, and Major-General Doubleday, of the 3rd Division, took command of the 1st Corps. The Left Wing was moved northward close along the east side of South Mountain, while the 2nd, 5th and 6th Corps (to be joined later by the 12th) bore off to the right, more in the direction of Harrisburg and Philadelphia. When Meade assumed command of the Army of the Potomac, he was fortunate in finding Reynolds thus in charge of the troops nearest the enemy, and where his great ability would likely be of the utmost assistance at an early moment.

Excerpt from Gettysburg: How the Battle Was Fought War was our army ever in a worse condition. The enemy having become greatly encouraged with their numerous victories, after their victory at Chancellorsville decided to no longer confine themselves south of Mason and Dixon's Line, but to extend the war into the North. Harrisburg, the Capital of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was looked upon by the Con federate authorities during the dark days of the rebellion as sec ond in importance to them as the Capital of our Nation. They believed that if General Lee could succeed m penetrating into Pennsylvania, and capturing Harrisburg, he would have but little.
