Book excerpt: "This is not a history of the Battle of Gettysburg, but an attempt to describe more fully and accurately than has heretofore been done that part of the battle which was fought on one corner of the field, where, more than in any other place, the fate of the contest between the two armies was decided ... The author, who was an eye-witness of the attack and took part in the defense on this part of the line, believes that it will serve to give a better idea of the fight on Little Round Top if in connection with what he saw and heard he presents the official reports of the Union and Confederate officers and extracts from the accounts of the leading historians which relate to this part of the battle, with his comparison and criticism of these documents, together with some important letters and papers not heretofore published"--P. 11.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Emphasize[s] the role of Winfield Scott Hancock . . . [and] the Second Corps in plugging the gap and saving the day for the Union.” —Gettysburg Magazine On the afternoon of July 2, 1863, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet struck the Union left flank with a massive blow that collapsed Dan Sickles’ advanced position in the Peach Orchard and rolled northward, tearing open a large gap in the center of the Federal line on Cemetery Ridge. Fresh Confederates from A. P. Hill’s Corps advanced toward the mile-wide breach, where Southern success would split the Army of the Potomac in two. The fate of the Battle of Gettysburg hung in the balance. Despite the importance of the position, surprisingly few Union troops were available to defend Cemetery Ridge. Major General Winfield S. Hancock’s veteran Second Corps had been whittled from three divisions to less than one after Gibbon’s division was sucked into earlier fighting and Caldwell’s command was shattered in the Wheatfield. With little time and few men, Hancock determined to plug the yawning gap. Reprising Horatio at the Bridge, the gallant commander cobbled together various commands and refused to yield the precious acres in Plum Run ravine. The swirling seesaw fighting lasted for hours and included hand-to-hand combat and personal heroics of which legends are made. The Second Day at Gettysburg expands on David Shultz and David Wieck’s critically acclaimed earlier work The Battle Between the Farm Lanes. This completely revised and expanded study, which includes new photographs, original maps, and a self-guided tour of the fighting, is grounded in extensive research and unmatched personal knowledge of the terrain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Attack and Defense of Little Round Top, Gettysburg, July 2, 1863: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, February 3, 1915 Little Round Top, Gettysburg, in which my brother, General Strong Vincent, took part. What I shall say is practically a summary of one of the more recent volumes of our Civil War literature. It was published in 1913, and is entitled 'the Attack and Defense of Little Round Top, Gettysburg. Its author is Oliver W. Norton, a successful and retired business man of Chicago, a member and ex - Commander of our Illinois Commandery, and a member of our Commandery-in Chief. The value of this book as an authority consists in two facts: first, that the author, although long entirely blind, has unearthed and brought together original reports and letters of leading men in that fight, most of which were unknown to the historians, and some of which have never before been published; and, second, the fact that the author was himself a personal eye witness of new and important incidents which he relates, connected with some critical moments in that fight. At the time he was brigade bugler, mounted, and bearer of the brigade's headquarters flag. As it was his duty to be always near his brigade commander, Colonel Vincent, he had, in this way, exceptional opportunities of hearing what was said and seeing what was done. When the fight was on, however, and until his services as color bearer were again needed, he seized a musket and fought in the ranks with his regiment. But, to begin with, let me now briefly recall the principal facts which led up to this particular fight. In the summer of 1863, Lee undertook to divert the Federal offensive from Richmond, and to take the offensive himself against \vashington. He also hoped to pass around Washington's main defences on the Potomac and attack it on the flank or rear. In order to do this, he marched northward, first into Maryland and then into Pennsylvania; also carrying the war in this way into the enemy's country. But first Hooker, and then Meade, keeping himself all the while between Lee and Washington, marched north ward, too, almost exactly parallel with Lee. Finally, as Lee had decided to give battle, when the advance corps of the two armies met near Gettysburg on July lst, there was a preliminary struggle, in which major-general Reynolds of our First Corps was killed.
