1864 Battle of GETTYSBURG 1^ed Civil War RARE 1^st-hand account Rebel Invasion MAP

 

Impressive first-hand account of the Battle of Gettysburg!

 

Michael Jacobs was a clergy in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during the famed Civil War battle. He wrote a first-hand account of his experiences, perhaps one of the best and most authoritative accounts of the Battle of Gettysburg written from a non-military perspective. ‘Notes on the Rebel Invasion’, as it was published, describes the state of locals in Gettysburg during the battle, the sounds of war, as well as the consequences of the battle itself.

 

This highly desirable first edition contains the oft-lacking folding map of the Gettysburg battlefield.

 

The North American Review calls this work “a valuable contribution to the history of our civil war”.
