- Many of the accounts have not been published since the early 20th century in newspaper articles
- Previously unpublished photographs and vivid personal accounts
- Dramatic paintings of Hood’s Texans and other soldiers at Gettysburg by American historical artist Mark Maritato
The Texans from Hood’s Texas Brigade and other regiments who fought at Gettysburg on 1-3 July 1863 described their experiences of the battle in personal diaries, interviews, newspaper articles, letters and speeches. Their reminiscences provide a fascinating and harrowing account of the battle as they fought the Army of the Potomac.
Speeches were given in the decades after the battle during the annual reunions of Hood’s Brigade Association and the dedication of the Hood’s Brigade Monument that took place on 26-27 October 1910 at the state capital in Austin, Texas.
These accounts describe their actions at Devil’s Den, Little Round Top and other areas during the battle. For the first time ever, their experiences are compiled in
Texans at Gettysburg: Blood and Glory with Hood’s Texas Brigade.
