Description
"It is high time that dispute should cease as to the award due him who won the greatest battle of the war, upon which it turned, saving the nation's capital, and giving to the Rebellion a blow from which it never recovered...it remains for history to record that, from the beginning to the end of the Rebellion, it was only when Meade was chief that Lee was ever met in pitched battle and defeated on equal terms."Called in the dead of night to General Hooker's headquarters, George Meade thought he might be heading to be relieved of command or arrested. Instead, he emerged from Hooker's tent and told his aide "Well, I am in command of the Army of the Potomac." And in three days he met Lee at Gettysburg.Meade spent the rest of his life defending his actions at Gettysburg. His skillful deployment and management of the command at that battlefield was a major Union victory and the turning point of the war.In this second volume of his letters, his son and grandson present a narrative, letters to and from Meade, and letters from other participants in the battle that corroborate Meade's rightful position as the hero of Gettysburg.No study of the American Civil War is complete without this two-volume set.
