General Andrew A. Humphreys served with distinction in the Army of the Potomac, holding such positions as topographic staff office under McClellan, Division Commander, Meade’s chief of staff, Chief Engineer in the U.S. Army, and finally Second Corps Commander. His role as chief of staff for General Meade immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg made him extremely familiar with the maneuvers of the Army of the Potomac.
Humphreys work details a first-hand look at the ending of the Gettysburg Campaign including Lee’s retreat from Gettysburg, Lee’s abandonment of the Valley, the movement to Centreville, the Battles of Bristoe Station, Kelly’s Ford, Rappahannock Station, and the Mine Run Campaign. Humphreys’s account gives as succinct and clear overview of the maneuvers and fighting that preceded the bloody 1864 campaigns and provides excellent, first-hand insights into this extraordinary period of the war.
