Gettysburg by James Reasoner Book Summary

Although Stonewall Jackson was dead, Confederate moral was never higher. The victory at Chancellorsville had come against overwhelming odds, and the Union army was in retreat. In less than a year, the Federals had been pushed back from the outskirts of Richmond and now virtually out of Virginia. Thus begins GETTYSBURG, the sixth volume in the Brannon family saga that has been praised as robust, detail-rich and well-pacedequal parts pathos and accuracy" (Publishers Weekly) and "fraught with passion, tension, and tenderness" (Booklist). Will and Mac, the two eldest Brannon sons, are in the ranks of the Stonewall Brigade and Jeb Stuart's cavalry. A short bivouac allows them to visit the family farm, but almost as soon as Will rejoins his company, Jackson's former corps marches up the Shenandoah Valley, sweeping the Union troops out of Winchester. A natural route to the North lies open, and Lee's army heads in that direction. The eventual clash at Gettysburg occupies the rest of the book. Will, who is involved from the first day, is kept in the thick of the combat around Culp's Hill and the right side of the Union line. Mac arrives on the evening of the second day, and he sees action with the Southern cavalry at Hanover. Both are swallowed up in the melee of the fighting, and neither emerges unscathed. Bruised and bleeding, the Confederate army stumbles back into Virginia, leaving a fourth of their number behind on the Pennsylvania ground. News of the defeat and the huge number of casualties spreads quickly. Like thousands of families across the South, the Brannon clan in Culpeper County anxiously awaits word of the fates of two sons.

Amazing. This is a great book. James Reasoner is one of my favorite authors now. I can proudly set this book up beside Louis L'Amour or Max Brand. It is very well written.

Gettysburg. Enjoyable read. Good development of characters, mostly in line with historic references with good storylines not burdened with endless troop movement discussions or exhaustive battle flow detail. Vivid, gripping descriptions of action, countryside, character interactions etc. give the reader a deep feel for the reality of the times. One major flaw according to 99% of descriptions of the “accidental” start of the Gettysburg battle is the omission of General John Buford’s Cavalry always credited with an amazing initial performance as he and his outnumbered troops held back the Confederates while Union reinforcements were rushed in, enabling them to occupy the high ground which is a main contributing factor to Meade’s victory. This is an amazing omission given that there is a huge focus on Cavalry in the book based on one of the two main characters being a Confederate Cavalryman. Would probably have given it 4 stars otherwise.

Gettysburg. I had a great grandfather fight at Gettysburg. My father was born and raised in Fayetteville. I spent many summers at the battlefield and Went back with my wife and children. I saw the Movie, read other books, visited Antitum. The were informative and helped understand How the battle was fought. Mr Reasoner tells it in a more personal way and I Loved it. I do not put a no in my name, although in one of My great grandfathers discharge they spelled it With a no. Maybe we are related somehow. I live In Williamsport, Pa but still have family in Chambers burg, Fayetteville, Hagerstown And the surrounding area. I plan to read all of Mr Reasoners books on the Civil War.
