The Gettysburg Campaign in Numbers and Losses is a full-color master work decades in the making. Presented for the first time in print are comprehensive orders of battle for four dozen engagements both large and small waged during the five weeks of the Gettysburg Campaign (June 9 – July 14, 1863).
Each presentation includes a synopsis of the engagement; photos of the commanders; original maps of the fighting; an order of battle with numbers and losses (including killed, wounded, captured, and missing); charts and graphs (where appropriate) of relative strengths and losses; and a conclusion of how the fighting affected each side and the course of the campaign. J. David Petruzzi and Steven A. Stanley used a staggering array of primary resources gathered over a lifetime of study to compile the text and craft the original maps from the Official Records, soldier letters and diaries, period newspapers, regimental histories, reminiscences, muster rolls, and other published and unpublished sources.
For the first time students of the campaign can turn page-by-page to read, visualize, and understand blow-by-blow how the unfolding action affected the individual corps, divisions, brigades, and regiments, and by extension influenced decision-making at the highest levels of command.
The Gettysburg Campaign in Numbers and Losses: Synopses, Orders of Battle, Strengths, Casualties, and Maps, June 9 – July 14, 1863 is a stunning original presentation destined to become a constant companion for anyone interested in this always fascinating slice of Civil War history.
