Charles P. Hamblen's posthumous text provides the first account in more than 25 years of soldiers from the Nutmeg State and their role during the Battle of Gettysburg.Dramatic narrative is interwoven with excerpts from the letters and diaries of Connecticut's fighting ranks to produce an extended overview of the battle that will appeal to Civil War buffs, first-time students of Gettysburg, and those interested in Connecticut history. Special attention is given to the 17th Connecticut regiment's distinguished part in the conflict at Barlow's Knoll and East Cemetery Hill, including the little-known action at the Josiah Benner Farm on July 1, 1863.Supplemented with numerous photographs of the participants, many of which have never before been published, and detailed maps pinpointing the position of Connecticut's five regiments during the battle, Connecticut Yankees at Gettysburg offers an original retelling of the greatest battle of the Civil War.

This book should be of great interest to a narrow audience: it is about the 5 depleted Connecticut regiments, totaling about 1,300 men, that fought at Gettysburg. Genealogists searching the 359 who were killed, wounded, captured or missing will find it helpful, as will those interested in Connecticut's role in the Civil War. I bought it after having read it, because it is affordable and portable, and can be brought along on a battlefield tour.
