Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lee and Longstreet at High Tide: Gettysburg in the Light of the Official Records This brief story of a gigantic event, and General Longstreet´s part therein was arranged for publication in book form in the fall of 1903, before his death, which occurred January 2, 1904. It is the carefully sifted story of the records and contemporaneous witnesses, and for clearness I have here and there introduced General Longstreet´s personal version of some of the disputed points. But the reader will perceive that at last it is the story of the records. For my undertaking I drew liberally from General Longstreet´s memoirs of the war, "Manassas to Appomattox;" from his stores of knowledge in the military art, and his treasure-house of memories of the Titanic encounter on the field of Gettysburg. The war-pictures included herein are also from the above-mentioned volume. And I am gratefully indebted to Captain Leslie J. Perry, formerly of the War Records Office, Washington City, for valuable assistance. An appendix, added since General Longstreet´s death, includes a small selection from the thousands of tributes from every quarter of the republic. One of the last of the brilliant generals of the Civil War, whose valor and skill in the command of great armies, is to-day the common glory of the restored Union, has contributed an introduction. No survivor of the great struggle has a better right to speak of Gettysburg than General Daniel E. Sickles. In this connection the following letter is appreciatively reproduced.
