Thousands of men lay dead or wounded on the battlefield, victims of bloody encounters on Little Round Top, in the Peach Orchard, and at other locations whose names have become part of our history. But the outcome of the biggest battle in American history was still uncertain. Shortly before midnight the Union commander, General George Meade, called a council of war at his headquarters. Meade had taken command of the Army of the Potomac only days before the great battle. He consulted his top generals to decide what to do on the next day. The consensus emerged quickly: Stay and fight. And so they did. Gettysburg, Day Three is the story of the decisive day of the decisive battle of the Civil War. Opening with Meade's council of war, it shifts to the seven~hour struggle for Culp's Hill, the most sustained combat of the entire engagement. The fighting at Culp's Hill began early on the third day and produced heroes on both sides, perhaps none less likely than sixty~two~year~old General George Greene of New York, the oldest general on the battlefield. The crucial action on Day Three was the massive Confederate assault on the center of the Union line, the action that we know as Pickett's Charge. Jeffry Wert tells the story of Pickett's Charge in full detail, from the planning and preparations to the ferocious cannonade, the valiant but futile charge itself, and the bloody repulse and aftermath. He analyzes the failure of Confederate command decisions, from the level of Robert E. Lee and James Longstreet down to the brigade commanders, that rendered the attack less powerful than it might have been. He gives great credit to the artillery officers, particularly General Henry Hunt of the Union, who contributed significantly to the defeat of the infantry assault. Wert's vivid and dramatic retelling of Pickett's Charge will captivate anyone who has enjoyed Killer Angels or any of the classic narratives of the Civil War. Although the repulse of Pickett's Charge determined the outcome of the battle, the fighting at Gettysburg didn't end there. On the afternoon of the third day, the most prolonged cavalry action of the battle took place. Confederate cavalry under the command of the colorfully flamboyant Jeb Stuart fought an excellent Union cavalry in a battle that ended in a draw. Among the most daring of the Union cavalry commanders was a twenty~three~year~old brigadier general, the youngest general in the army, named George Custer. For the Union troops, the victory at Gettysburg was enormous. The Army of the Potomac had consistently lost to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, most recently in a bloody defeat at Chancellorsville less than two months earlier. A Confederate victory on northern soil would have jeopardized Baltimore and perhaps even Washington itself. Instead Union troops fought with determination and skill, and proved to themselves that they could fight as well as the Rebels. After failing with a series of commanders, Lincoln finally succeeded with his new commander, George Meade, who, Wert argues, deserves more credit for the Union victory than he has generally been given. Gettysburg, Day Three draws on hundreds of sources, in.…
