WITH MEADE AT GETTYSBURG; GEORGE G.MEADE 1930~MILITARY ORDER OF THE LOYAL LEGION
There is browning to pages 46 & 47 from a newspaper clipping stored in between the pages, light wear to the outside cover and a pen inscription on the inside front cover. The book is otherwise in very good condition. An exceptionally rare book with 24 fold out maps detailing battle positions and history of the civil war.
Whether justified or not, Major General Meade has been severely criticized for not instituting a more vigorous pursuit of General Lee and the defeated Confederate forces, after their repulse at the battle of Gettysburg. As long as men will continue to argue and defend their own ideas, such controversies always arise – and no one yet ever heard of anyone ever changing his opinion published under the auspices of the war library and Museum of the military order of the loyal Legion of the United States, Philadelphia, PA., This book was compiled by General Meade’s son and edited by his grandson. It is plainly for the purpose of putting general Meade side of the argument before the public. Copious extracts are made from the general‘s personal correspondence to his wife, from his orders issued in the field, and from his testimony before Congress nine months after the battle. Also, there are extracts from General Halleck’s letters to General Meade. 24 maps help the reader form a picture of events, which would almost be impossible from just reading the written details.
