He asserts that “the most worthwhile in the volume is in the form of unpublished letters and accounts, e.g. Porter Falery of the 140th New York provided a lengthy paper on his Gettysburg experiences”. ~~Eicher notes that the book “examines many secondary accounts, including those of William Swinton, Abner Doubleday, Francis A. Walker, Henry J. Hunt and William H. Powell.~~Nevins considers the account to be “exhaustive”.~~Quite a nice First Edition copy of an important book.~~ (Nevins I, 39; Eicher 93; Krick 356).
