July 3– From The Battle of Gettysburg (1898) by Frank Aretas Haskell
Summary: How do you summarize Gettysburg? A lot of men died, and the Union won, I guess.
Commentary: I had another selection for this book, "American Historical Documents" a week or so ago. I don't think that label really applies (maybe First Hand Accounts of History instead). If we didn't have AN ENTIRE VOLUME OF BURRRRNNNNSSSS Elliot could've put in a few more historical documents (maybe expanding it to the rest of the world) and then had a whole book of accounts also, rather than smooshing them awkwardly in one.
I don't have a ton to say about the particular entry. Decent enough writing. Reasonably significant topic. Solid 3 on the rating scale.
