Boritt\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGabor Boritt has invited nine leading authorities to shed new light on the greatest battle in our history, focusing in particular on the unknown, the controversial, and what might have been. What did the battle do to the people of Gettysburg? What is behind the rise of Joshua Chamberlain to\u003cbr\u003ethe status of the Hero of the Battle? How did the common soldiers influence the battle? Readers are treated to a fresh account of Pickett's Charge from the rarely-described perspective of the Union soldiers, and to careful new analyses of the battlefield actions of General Ewell and General Daniel\u003cbr\u003eSickles. And throughout the volume, there is much vivid writing, such as a stirring account of the moment when General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered the First Minnesota to \"take those colors,\" sending the Minnesotans into a struggle that would cost most of them their lives but would help save the\u003cbr\u003eday for the Union. \u003cbr\u003eOffering the insights of America's eminent Civil War scholars, \u003cem\u003eThe Gettysburg Nobody Knows\u003c\/em\u003e provides a marvelously informative reconsideration of this epic event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGabor Boritt\u003c\/strong\u003e is Director of the Civil War Institute and Fluher Professor at Gettysburg College.
