General John Gibbon and “The Pinch of the Fight at Gettysburg.”
Wounded during the Union repulse of Pickett's Charge, Brig. Gen. John Gibbon received treatment for his injury in Baltimore and then went to a country home to recuperate. His host. John Latrobe, listened eagerly to Gibbon's details of the battle—and wrote a unique letter based on Gibbon's account. "Life on the Civil War Research Trail" is hosted by Ronald S.
