Autorenporträt
Franklin Aretas Haskell (1828–1864) was an esteemed officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War, best known for his detailed and vivid account of the Battle of Gettysburg. Born in Tunbridge, Vermont, he pursued legal studies and practiced law in Madison, Wisconsin before the outbreak of war. Haskell joined the Union forces early in the conflict and served as an aide-de-camp. His literary achievement, 'The Battle of Gettysburg,' was born from a letter Haskell wrote to his brother shortly after the battle, intending to convey a firsthand account of the event. Posthumously published in 1898, the work distinguishes itself through Haskell's unique perspective and meticulous description, providing not just a historical record but also a passionate narrative of the pivotal three-day engagement. Though not trained as a writer, his eloquent prose and insightful observations have been lauded for bringing a human dimension to the historic confrontation. Haskell's account remains a staple in Civil War literature and is highly valued by historians for its close engagement with the realities of war and for preserving the memory of one of America's most significant battles.
