Synopsis

â Hasslerâ s history will survive as our most detailed narrative of the first dayâ s battle, examining the dayâ s action so minutely that no succeeding historian of Gettysburg will be able to ignore it. Hasslerâ s book has solid virtues in addition to its thoroughness of detail: it offers a persuasive argument that the first dayâ s events largely determined the eventual outcome of the battle; Hassler displays uncommonly complete knowledge of the battlefield terrain [and] makes uniquely good use of the information that can be gleaned from the monuments and markers on the battlefield.â â American Historical Review
