Ebook About
Although he took command of the Army of the Potomac only three days before the first shots were fired at Gettysburg, Union general George G. Meade guided his forces to victory in the Civil War's most pivotal battle. Commentators often dismiss Meade when discussing the great leaders of the Civil War. But in this long-anticipated book, Kent Masterson Brown draws on an expansive archive to reappraise Meade's leadership during the Battle of Gettysburg. Using Meade's published and unpublished papers alongside diaries, letters, and memoirs of fellow officers and enlisted men, Brown highlights how Meade's rapid advance of the army to Gettysburg on July 1, his tactical control and coordination of the army in the desperate fighting on July 2, and his determination to hold his positions on July 3 insured victory. Brown argues that supply deficiencies, brought about by the army's unexpected need to advance to Gettysburg, were crippling. In spite of that, Meade pursued Lee's retreating army rapidly, and his decision not to blindly attack Lee's formidable defenses near Williamsport on July 13 was entirely correct in spite of subsequent harsh criticism. Combining compelling narrative with incisive analysis, this finely rendered work of military history deepens our understanding of the Army of the Potomac as well as the machinations of the Gettysburg Campaign, restoring Meade to his rightful place in the Gettysburg narrative.

Book Meade at Gettysburg: A Study in Command (Civil War America) Review :



This is the best book that I ever read about Gettysburg, and I have been reading about the battle since 1957. I must have read over 50 books covering all aspects of the battle and the events leading up to it and following it. My reading included all the "classics", from Coddington on. This book is now at the head of my list. It provides the most detailed analysis of all aspects of the Army of the Potomac's performance from 28 June to 14 July - logistics, communication, battle management, motivation of subordinates. I always respected and admired Meade, as did my great-grandfather, one of his soldiers at Gettysburg. That respect and admiration has increased. Sadly, though, my opinion of Reynolds has decreased. I would recommend this book to everyone.
General George Gordon Meade took command of the Army of the Potomac just a few days before the Battle of Gettysburg. During that time, he managed to rapidly concentrate his army, devise a brilliant defensive strategy (the “fishhook”), and defeat Lee decisively in a major battle, a unique accomplishment among Union generals. Kent Masterman Brown’s outstanding research and narrative explains Meade’s accomplishment under duress. He also answers the question that some historians of the battle fail to mention. Meade’s army was out of food for both soldiers and horses and mules while Lee’s army was flush due to intensive foraging in the period prior to the battle. Why didn’t Meade pursue and attack Lee? First and foremost, we discover, due to no fault of Meade, that his army was starving, and its mobility limited. Lee’s army was well fed behind formidable defenses. Imagine the impact of a Union loss at Gettysburg. Further, imagine a resounding Union defeat by Lee’s retreating army. Lincoln’s failure to acknowledge Meade’s success betrays his poor judgment in this matter and the weakness of his intelligence and advisors. The book is a gift to those of us who looking for an evidence-based approach to Gettysburg. Brown will be speaking about Meade and his book at the Civil War Institute Summer Conference at Gettysburg College in early June.
