Overview

The Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most important struggles in the history of the United States of America. That battle is one of the most written-about events in U.S. history. The battle has been discussed, debated, refought, and retold countless times, but no author has ever told the story of the battle in a manner such as this. In West Point at Gettysburg, author Dr. Paul Semendinger tells the story of most of the most significant officers at the battle, the ones who graduated from West Point and served with the Union or Confederate forces. Each West Point graduate has his story told in the pages of this comprehensive three-volume series. The stories of these men all need to be told and remembered. The long grey line is together, once again in West Point at Gettysburg.

""Paul Semendinger has produced a unique volume that is a combination reference work, collective biography, and narrative of the battle of Gettysburg. In all of these capacities, it will be of great value to anyone interested in the American Civil War, especially its biggest and most famous battle.""-James M. McPherson, Princeton University, author of Battle Cry of Freedom ""Wonderfully conceived and presented. WEST POINT AT GETTYSBURG is rich with detail for the scholar and general reader alike.""-Jim Remsen, co-author of Back from Battle and Embattled Freedom ""A thoroughly researched and unique chronicle of the West Point graduates who served in the battle, offering insights for all readers interested in the Civil War.""-Thomas K. Clancy, author of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness ""This is a work of historical importance that will be appreciated by anyone interested in the Civil War in general, but more especially in the Battle of Gettysburg in particular and the men who fought and died there. Your book adds a colorful breath of life to their memories!""-Jeffrey R. Frazier, author of Pennsylvania Fireside Tales (vols 1-8) ""Professors at West Point taught cadets how to be officers and lead men into combat, but could not foresee that friends and barracks mates would clash near Gettysburg in July of 1863. Dr. Semendinger's first of three volumes has compiled details on West Point graduates (A to G) in that battle, both North and South, including official reports. His research shows how well those officers had been taught to command soldiers in such a cataclysmic battle. West Point at Gettysburg should be on every Civil War shelf.""-Alan D. Gaff, author of On Many a Bloody Field: Four Years in the Iron Brigade
