Summary "The Battle of Gettysburg: The Country, the Contestants, the Results" by W. C. Storrick is a historical account written in the early to mid-20th century. This work provides an in-depth examination of the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the pivotal battles of the American Civil War, focusing on the location of the armies, their movements, and the strategies employed. Storrick, who was closely connected to the Gettysburg National Park Commission, brings a personal perspective to the narrative, enriching the historical context with insights from his extensive experience in the area. The opening of the book sets the stage for the events of the battle, detailing the prelude leading to the confrontation between the Confederate and Union forces. It outlines General Lee's strategic aims for the Confederate invasion and the movements of both armies as they approached Gettysburg. The author provides a clear description of the initial positions of the two armies, their commanding generals, and the challenges they faced, including problems of communication and logistics. This introduction emphasizes the significance of the battle both as a military engagement and as a crucial turning point in the Civil War, while foreshadowing the intense conflict that is to unfold in the following chapters.
