About This Book

An eyewitness staff officer delivers a detailed, chronological account of a large Civil War engagement, following troop dispositions, artillery and infantry combat, and the shifting fortunes of corps and regiments across the field. The narrative blends tactical description with immediate impressions of noise, exhaustion, and loss, evaluates commanders' dispositions and responses, and records captures, retreats, and local counterattacks. Maps and illustrations accompany the text, and an editorial preface provides biographical and publication context.
