Paperback. Condición: Like New. Like New. Never read. Might as well be new. x, 51 pages : illustrations, maps (some color), portraits ; 28 cm. . . . . . a concise, specialized military history book (51-61 pages) published in 2006 by Mechling Bookbindery. It focuses on the actions of Battery B during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. The unit, composed of men from a small rural community in western Pennsylvania and commanded by James H. Cooper, was part of the First Pennsylvania Light Artillery and played a notable role in the Union defense, particularly around key positions like Cemetery Hill. The book provides a detailed, hour-by-hour account of the battery?s movements, positions, and combat activities across the three days of the battle, drawing on primary sources to illustrate the artillerymen?s experiences under fire. Beyond the tactical narrative, it highlights the unit?s broader service record (it suffered the highest number of battle deaths of any Federal volunteer light artillery battery in the Civil War) and includes personal stories, such as one member?s experiences as a captive and parolee, adding human elements of sacrifice, community pride, and resilience. Well-researched and illustrated, it serves as a valuable resource for Civil War enthusiasts interested in artillery operations at Gettysburg rather than a broad overview of the battle.
