Thousands of books and articles have been written about Gettysburg-but the military operation itself remains one of the most complex and difficult to understand. Here, Bradley M. Gottfried gives readers a unique and thorough study of the campaign that decided the fate of a nation.
Enriched with 144 detailed, full-page color maps comprising the entire campaign, The Maps of Gettysburg shows the action as it happened-down to the regimental and battery level, including the marches to and from the battlefield, and virtually every significant event in-between. Paired with each map is a fully detailed text describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat it depicts-including quotes from eyewitnesses-all of which bring the Gettysburg story to life.
Perfect for the armchair historian or first-hand visitor to the hallowed ground, "no academic library can afford not to include The Maps of Gettysburg as part of their American Civil War Reference collections" ( Midwest Book Review).
