Called a "masterpiece" by Civil War News, this is the most detailed regimental analysis of the first day of the battle of Gettysburg.. Gettysburg, July 1 presents the most detailed regimental-level account ever written of the critical first day of the Civil War's greatest battle. Using firsthand sources, most of which are unpublished and some never before cited, Gettysburg, July 1 combines recent scholarly interpretations of the action with original analysis by the author. It takes a fresh approach to the battle at the tactical level, with emphasis on the experience and competence of regimental and brigade commanders.
"Martin's Gettysburg, July 1 is now the standard source for the first day's fight."
Dr. David G. Martin has written numerous books of military history including The Vicksburg Campaign, The Shiloh Campaign, The Philadelphia Campaign, and Confederate Monuments at Gettysburg.
