O knihe
A Union officer on campaign
The author of this book served as Adjutant and Major in the 132nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and his primary objective in writing his account was to provide a regimental history. Whilst the book serves admirably in that capacity, it is also the case that Hitchcock proposed to leave a record of his own Civil War experiences for his family and in that he has been even more successful. This is a personal and personable account of a Union officer at war and Hitchcock's descriptions of battlefield combat are particularly immediate and well told. We join him and his regiment in camp, on campaign and on several bloody fields of conflict including Blue Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg-where Hitchcock's experience is a classic account of the horror of the Union charge-to Chancellorsville and wars end. Available in soft back and cloth bound hard cover with dust jacket, head and tail bands and gold foil lettering to the spine, ideal for collectors.
