Titel: The Lion of Round Top Zustand: New Subtitle: The Life and Military Service of Brigadier General Strong Vincent in the American Civil War Autor: Hans G Myers Produktart: Gebundene Ausgabe ISBN-10: 1636241115 EAN: 9781636241111 ISBN: 9781636241111 Verlag: Casemate Publishers Genre: History Thematik: Military History Release date: 12/05/2022 Description: Citizen-soldier Strong Vincent was many things: Harvard graduate, lawyer, political speaker, descendent of pilgrims and religious refugees, husband, father, brother. But his greatest contribution to history is as the saviour of the Federal left on the second day at Gettysburg, when he and his men held Little Round Top against overwhelming Confederate numbers.
Forgotten by history in favour of his subordinate, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Vincent faded into relative obscurity in the decades following his death. This book restores Vincent to his rightful place among the heroes of the battle of Gettysburg: presenting his life story using new, never-before-published sources and archival material to bring the story of one of the most forgotten officers of the American Civil War back to the attention of readers and historians.
