{"product_id":"9781612777405","title":"Haskell of Gettysburg: His Life and Civil War Papers","description":"All students of the Civil War are indebted to Frank Haskell for his classic description of the battle of Gettysburg.  A lieutenant on the staff of John Gibbon, Haskell stood at the focus of the Confederate assault on July 3, 1863.  He wrote of the battle in a letter to his brother.  When it came to light after the war it became and remains probably the most read and repeated account of Civil War combat written by a participant.  It captures wholly the terrible fascination that the Civil War—and Gettysburg—holds for all Americans.  Haskell wrote other letters (thirty-one in this collection) and attained the rank of colonel before he was killed at Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864.This 1989 paperback reprinting of the 1970 edition contains a new preface by Frank L. Byrne.","brand":"Kent State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135390367984,"sku":"9781612777405","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612777405_p0.jpg?v=1769903986","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612777405","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
