葛底斯堡最早的纪念碑是新古典主义风格的大理石丧葬纪念碑，是在战争结束后不久在士兵国家公墓竖立的。随后，在这场战役的25周年纪念日前后，花岗岩纪念碑和作战士兵的现实代表(图2和图3的前景)纪念了联邦幸存者和阵亡者的服务。这些墓碑并没有被放置在墓地里，而是被放置在葛底斯堡战场纪念协会或葛底斯堡国家军事公园(1895年成立)保存的部分战场上，以纪念军队在那里战斗和死亡。在二十世纪之交的几十年里，人们为联邦部队建造了更多的服务纪念碑，也为邦联军队建造了一些纪念碑。联邦军指挥官的铜像也大量出现。许多马术和行人雕像(图3)都是受在巴黎École des BeauxArts受过训练的当代法国雕塑家的启发，以充满活力的自然主义为模型的。这些BeauxArtsstyle纪念碑的特点是对个人的动态描绘，通常与精心制作的基座或建筑部件(如古典柱、飞檐和造型)精心结合在一起到1900年，一个纪念碑(图4)承认

7月1日，第21届北卡罗莱纳州在宾夕法尼亚州，从弗吉尼亚州两个州之外郁郁葱葱的农场和工厂中诞生。6月3日，第二军团收拾行装，返回弗吉尼亚山谷。目的地仍然是个秘密;但很快，北卡罗莱纳第21步兵团又进入了熟悉的战场，“5月10日，杰克逊死于斯通沃尔，整个南方都在哀悼”，但罗伯特·e·李在钱瑟勒斯维尔取得了胜利，人们对接替杰克逊的理查德·埃维尔中将充满了希望。事实上，为了更好地控制部队，李将军创建了第三军，由前强硬的轻装师团长安布罗斯·鲍威尔·希尔中将指挥。詹姆斯·朗斯特里特中将继续担任原第一军团的指挥官。钱瑟勒斯维尔战役结束后，组成北弗吉尼亚军团的六万八千名士兵向弗雷德里克斯堡转移，并在5月剩下的时间里担任纠察员。尤厄尔的新指挥部，包括罗伯特·霍克准将的柏油路旅的2064名士兵和北卡罗莱纳第21旅的467名士兵，沿着深跑和史密斯菲尔德之间的拉帕汉诺克巡逻。由于霍克在第二弗雷德里克斯堡负伤，年轻的艾萨克·艾弗里上校担任该旅的指挥官。艾弗里现年34岁，是北卡罗莱纳第六步兵团E连的队长，后来升任该团团长。现在，他还作为Jubal A. Early少将师的旅长，指挥过北卡罗莱纳第21师、北卡罗莱纳第54师和北卡罗莱纳第57师。厄尔利还指挥了哈里·海斯准将麾下的路易斯安那旅、威廉·史密斯准将麾下的弗吉尼亚旅和约翰·b·戈登准将麾下的乔治亚旅。很明显，弗吉尼亚已经不能再养活七万南部联盟军和不知道还有多少北方佬了。李将军决定带领他的军队北上，看看他能做些什么

Robert Rodes’s large Confederate division of fi ve brigades approached Union lines from the north on Oak Ridge. Brig. Gen. John C. Robinson’s 2nd Division of the First Corps was rushed north to oppose them. Of Brig. Gen. John C. Robinson’s two brigades, Henry Baxter’s and Gabriel R. Paul’s, Baxter’s brigade has received all the glory at Gettysburg. Paul’s brigade certainly fought long and hard, but Baxter had the distinction of destroying Brig. Gen. Alfred Iverson’s Confederate brigade of North Carolinians, a welldocumented tragedy of epic proportions. Th e general consensus today is that Brig. Gen. Henry Baxter’s brigade quickly dispatched the attack of Col. Edward A. O’Neal’s Alabama brigade from the north and then changed front to face west and destroyed Iverson’s brigade of North Carolinians.

Gettysburg Magazine, no. 54 Aft er the fall of Fort Fisher, Jamieson charts the falling dominos, revealing how developments in South Carolina and North Carolina infl uenced the military situation in Virginia, and vice versa. Th is is the true value of Jamieson’s work; Spring 1865’s broad scope allows the reader to see the connections between the individual theaters of action. One of the great benefi ts of Jamieson’s approach is the way he places the Carolinas Campaign on equal footing with the Petersburg and Appomattox Campaigns. Spring 1865 underscores the importance of the actions in South Carolina and North Carolina by covering these developments fi rst. Th e quick movement and desperate actions in this campaign off er a counterpoint to the stalemate at Petersburg. Jamieson also skillfully covers the tense and complicated negotiations between Sherman and Johnston at Bennett Place, a set of multiple meetings with varied participants held over the course of ten days. Jamieson’s ability to weave together the campaigns and show their connectivity tempts one to think that perhaps an even wider view— to include the TransMississippi region— would make this book’s message more eff ective. To be fair, Jamieson mentions the campaigns in the West in his fi nal chapter, “Scattered Embers,” but these portions of Jamieson’s book are cursory compared to the depth of his analysis of the Carolinas and Virginia. Overall, Jamieson should be applauded for his work in synthesizing not just the most recent scholarship but also these important campaigns, which benefi t equally by being viewed together.

葛底斯堡杂志，不。费希尔堡陷落后，贾米森绘制了倒下的多米诺骨牌，揭示了南卡罗来纳和北卡罗来纳的事态发展如何影响弗吉尼亚的军事局势，反之亦然。这就是贾米森作品的真正价值所在;《1865年春天》的广阔范围使读者能够看到各个行动剧院之间的联系。贾米森的方法最大的好处之一是他将卡罗来纳战役与彼得堡战役和阿波马托克斯战役相提并论。《1865年春天》首先报道了南卡罗来纳和北卡罗来纳的发展，强调了这些行动的重要性。在这次战役中，迅速的行动和绝望的行动与彼得堡的僵局形成了对比。贾米森还巧妙地描写了谢尔曼和约翰斯顿在班尼特广场(Bennett Place)紧张而复杂的谈判，这是在十天的时间里与不同参与者举行的多次会议。贾米森将这些运动编织在一起，并展示了它们之间的联系，这让人不禁想到，也许更广阔的视野——包括跨密西西比地区——会让这本书传达的信息更有效。公平地说，贾米森在他的最后一章“散落的余烬”中提到了西部的战役，但与他对卡罗来纳和弗吉尼亚的深入分析相比，贾米森书中的这些部分是粗略的。总的来说，贾米森应该受到赞扬，因为他不仅综合了最新的学术成果，而且还综合了这些重要的运动，把它们放在一起看，对他同样有益。Jeremiah DeGennaro Alamance战场州历史遗址Perry D.

Spring 1865 underscores the importance of the actions in South Carolina and North Carolina by covering these developments fi rst. Th e quick movement and desperate actions in this campaign off er a counterpoint to the stalemate at Petersburg. Jamieson also skillfully covers the tense and complicated negotiations between Sherman and Johnston at Bennett Place, a set of multiple meetings with varied participants held over the course of ten days. Jamieson’s ability to weave together the campaigns and show their connectivity tempts one to think that perhaps an even wider view— to include the TransMississippi region— would make this book’s message more eff ective. To be fair, Jamieson mentions the campaigns in the West in his fi nal chapter, “Scattered Embers,” but these portions of Jamieson’s book are cursory compared to the depth of his analysis of the Carolinas and Virginia. Overall, Jamieson should be applauded for his work in synthesizing not just the most recent scholarship but also these important campaigns, which benefi t equally by being viewed together.

The 1st Delaware Volunteers department posts and briefl y led a brigade in the Twelft h Corps during the fi ght on Culp’s Hill. Th e Delaware regiment’s opportunity to prove its loyalty would come as George McClellan cobbled together a fi ghting force to pursue the Army of Northern Virginia as it crossed the Potomac following the defeat of John Pope’s army at Second Bull Run. Recalled from garrison duty at Suff olk, Virginia, on September 9, the regiment was attached to the Army of the Potomac’s Second Corps, commanded by William “Bull” Sumner. On September 17, 1862, during the regiment’s baptism under fi re, the 1st Delaware was on the right fl ank of William French’s fi rst line of attack on the Sunken Road at Antietam. Ordered to advance with fi xed bayonets and without the cover of skirmishers, the regiment was devastated from a welltimed volley from Confederate arms at a distance of only fi ft y yards.

Bob Younger: My Most Unforgettable Character founder Bob Younger literally see red. More about that later. Younger owned the wellknown Morningside Bookstore on Oak Street, in Dayton, Ohio, for many years, publishing, selling, and shipping books with his wife, Mary. And he ran the business as he damn well pleased, which he told me more than once, including the fi rst time I met him, in 1987. Th rough a mutual acquaintance, I called Bob one Saturday aft ernoon and said that if he was open, I’d like to stop by and buy some books. “Suit yourself,” he said over the phone, abruptly. “I may sell you a book, or I may not.” His answer, his tone, took me totally by surprise. At the time, I too was working in retail and was unaccustomed to the Youngers’ apparent axiom that the seller, not the customer, was always right. I was soon to learn fi rsthand. Later that aft ernoon, I stopped by Historian, publisher, businessman, curmudgeon, and mentor— Bob Younger wore all those hats with his own particular style while leaving his own particular impression on me and on the Civil War community. In my fortyplus years of Civil War study, I’ve learned at the feet of the best— Ed Bearss, Shelby Foote, Bud Robertson, Bob Krick, and Wiley Sword. I’ve read Bruce Catton, Douglas Freeman, Glenn Tucker, and Harry Pfanz. I’ve tramped the battlefi elds with Jerry Russell and listened to interpretations from Dennis Frye, Marshall Krolick, Th omas Cartwright, and William Frassanito.
