It’s a poignant irony in American history that on Independence
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk Day, 1863, not one but two pivotal Civil War battles ended in Union
victory, marked the high tide of Confederate military fortune, and
ultimately doomed the South’s effort at secession. But on July 4,
1863, after six months of siege, Ulysses Grant’s Union army finally
took Vicksburg and the Confederate west.
On the very same day, Robert E. Lee was in Pennsylvania, parrying
the threat to Vicksburg with a daring push north to Gettysburg. For
two days the battle had raged; on the next, July 4, 1863, Pickett’s
Charge was thrown back, a magnificently brave but fruitless
assault, and the fate of the Confederacy was sealed, though nearly
two more years of bitter fighting remained until the war came to an
end.
In Receding Tide, Edwin Cole Bearss draws from his popular Civil
War battlefield tours to chronicle these two widely separated but
simultaneous clashes and their dramatic conclusion. As the
recognized expert on both Vicksburg and Gettysburg, Bearss tells
the fascinating story of this single momentous day in our country’s
history, offering his readers narratives, maps, illustrations,
characteristic wit, dramatic new insights and unerringly intimate
knowledge of terrain, tactics, and the colorful personalities of
America’s citizen soldiers, Northern and Southern alike.
