About the Book
Gettysburg: Those Three Days by Fairfax Downey provides a vivid retelling of one of the most pivotal battles of the Civil War. As an artilleryman of two world wars, Downey offers a unique perspective by detailing the battle from the gunner's point of view, emphasizing the roles of Union and Confederate firepower. He brings to life the guns – Napoleons, Parrotts, Whitworths – and the men who operated them, as well as the smoke, clamor, and bravery that defined the battle.
The book also delves into iconic moments of the battle, such as the fierce fighting at Peach Orchard and Little Round Top, and highlights the crucial contributions of General Henry Jackson Hunt, whose leadership in artillery played a key role in turning the tide of the conflict.
This 320-page paperback edition, published in 1962 by Collier Books, is in good condition despite some highlighting on a few pages, offering a great read for history enthusiasts and Civil War aficionados.
