...buff's bonanza, and quoted by virtually all scholars of the battle for its vivid closeups of the thick of things, it now comes for the first time to the popular Civil War book market. The original gets tasteful, unobtrusive editing by Bruce (A Stillness at Appomattox) Catton. For all Haskell's unusual talent, The Battle of Gettysburg was his only literary work. Just eleven months after he wrote his story of the most famous charge in U.S. history, Frank Haskell, by then a colonel, was among the 40,000 men whom Ulysses S. Grant flung headlong against...
