The Battle of Gettysburgh, and the Part Taken Therein by Vermont Troops (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Battle of Gettysburgh, and the Part Taken Therein by Vermont Troops The Paper, the substance of which is contained in the following pages, was prepared at the request of Officers of the Vermont Historical Society, and was read at the special meeting of that Society, in Brandon, Vt., January 26th, 1864.

The moonlit night of Thursday he spent in a search for a missing ammunition train, which took him over the whole ground occupied by our army. His duties called him to and fro upon various portions of the field during Thursday and Friday. He rode on Saturday over our lines from left to right, and over a portion of the enemy's position; and on a subsequent visit to Gettysburgh in November, 1863, he was enabled to verify his impressions by further study of the ground, and conference with many brave men who stood on those bloody hillsides during the great fight. His account of the part taken by the 2d Vermont Brigade, is that of an actor in or eyewitness of almost everything related; and of one who has been desirous to know and to set down only the simple truth. So much may properly be said to the circle of friends for whose reading the paper is printed in this form. The writer is only sorry that the pressing demands on his time have not allowed him to give it studied revision in the light of all the information gained since the close of tho war. Such revision, however, would not particularly affect the narration of the part taken by the Vermont troops, but only some o
