Customer Reviews
The Battle of Gettysburg by: Frank Aretas Haskill
Do not assume that you have to pay for great reading. If you are interested in this epic battle the perspective of this field officer is a good read. Worth your time!
Perfect for any reading project
This is great for a free book, heck I would pay for this. The description is great, it is almost as descriptive as Tolkien's works. This is perfect for any U.S. History book project, quick easy read to explain one of the most strategic battles ever fought.
Absorbing, thrilling
I felt as if I too were there. I felt the earth tremble, heard the deafening roar of canon and musket. I could see the carnage of men upon the field. Hear the cry’s of the wounded. His narrative was easy to follow. His story is supported by the writings of others who were there.
