Produktbeschreibung
Franklin Aretas Haskell's "The Battle of Gettysburg" is an incisive and vivid recounting of one of the Civil War's most pivotal confrontations. Haskell, drawing upon his experiences as a soldier and aide-de-camp, offers a firsthand narrative that not only chronicles the events of the battle, but also explores the emotional and psychological toll it exacted on those involved. Written in a straightforward yet eloquent style, Haskell's work reflects the literary conventions of the 19th century, blending personal reflection with keen observations of military strategy. The book situates itself within the broader context of battlefield accounts, providing both detail and depth to an event that has shaped American memory and identity. Haskell, a member of the Union army, fought at Gettysburg and served directly under General Winfield S. Hancock, imbuing his narrative with authority and intimate knowledge. His unique perspective as a veteran enables him to transcend mere military reporting; he captures the valor, confusion, and despair experienced by soldiers. Haskell's background as a historian also amplifies the work's analytical insights into the battle's significance, enhancing its credibility. This compelling narrative is a vital read for anyone interested in American history, military strategy, or the human experience of war. Haskell's poignant reflections elevate the text beyond a simple historical account, making it not only a contribution to Civil War literature but also an essential exploration of courage and sacrifice. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of Gettysburg will find this book both enlightening and moving.

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.
