Attorney David Hirsch and electrical engineer Dan Van Haft en have added another book to the growing list, an addendum to their larger work, Abraham Lincoln and the Structure of Reason (2010). In Th e Ultimate Guide to the Gettysburg Address, the authors examine the Gettysburg Address’s basic elements and “demonstrate how the scientifi c method is basic to the structure of the Gettysburg Address.” Th e book’s description boldly claims that it “explains the 272word speech more thoroughly than any book previously published” (Cover). Unfortunately, the Ultimate Guide’s meager size does not carry the weight its cover matter suggests. Th e book opens with lengthy block quotes from the November 20, 1863, edition of Th e New York Times and from historian Michael Burlingame. Th e remaining pages introduce readers to the “Six Elements of a Proposition,” the adaptation of Euclidean geometry to the process of speechwriting. Th e six elements are: enunciation, exposition, specifi cation, construction, proof, and conclusion. According to Hirsh and Van Haft en, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address possessed all six elements.","PeriodicalId":268075,"journal":{"name":"Gettysburg Magazine","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127758873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Th e brigade moved forward at quick time. Th e ground was open, but little broken, and from 800 to 1,000 yards from the crest whence we started to the enemy’s line. Th e brigade moved in good order, keeping up its line almost perfectly, notwithstanding it had to climb three high post and rail fences, behind the last of which the enemy’s skirmishers were fi rst met and immediately drive in. Moving on, we soon met the advance line of the enemy, lying concealed in the grass on the slope, about 100 yards in front of his second line, which consisted of a stone wall about breast high, running nearly parallel to and about 30 paces from the crest of the hill, which was lined with their artillery. Th e fi rst line referred to above, aft er off ering some resistance, was completely routed, and driven in confusion back to the stone wall. Here we captured some prisoners, which were ordered to the rear without a guard. Having routed the enemy here, General Garnett ordered the brigade forward, which it promptly obeyed, loading and fi ring as it advanced. Up to this time we had suffered but little from the enemy’s batteries, which apparently had been much crippled previous to our advance, with the exception of one posted on Early Contemporary Accounts on the Fate of Confederate Brig.

Joseph Hooker faced a very real crisis in May 1863. Already reeling from its recent defeat at Chancellorsville, the army was about to lose fi ft yfi ve veteran infantry regiments in May and June due to the expiration of their terms of service. When combined with the more than 17,000 casualties sustained at Chancellorsville, the army would embark upon the next campaign reduced by some 40,000 men.1 Clearly, major organizational reforms that would aff ect all three of the army’s combat arms— infantry, cavalry, and artillery— would be needed in the face of such losses. To be sure, the Army of the Potomac was a hardened and veteran force, although one beset by organizational and leadership problems and a record of failure. Chief among the army’s problems were high rates of unit loss and replacement, frequent leadership turnover at midand upperechelons, and an organizational structure that had been rendered largely obsolescent by evolving battlefi eld conditions. Major organizational changes were in the offi ng. As the army approached the fi eld at Gettysburg, its basic structure would appear largely unaltered from its Chancellorsville confi guration; the army in both campaigns comprised seven infantry corps with their supporting artillery, an artillery reserve, and a cavalry corps. However, this macro picture obscures the myriad disruptive organizational changes that had altered the composition of nearly every unit in all three branches of service.

Like most young men of the time, they and their classmates rushed to the colors, ready to defend their state, though not necessarily to defend slavery. Jim was nineteen, Ira twentyone. Th ey joined with others from Pontotoc County to form a company that called itself the “Cherry Creek Rifl es.” A few days later, the unit moved north to Corinth, where it was folded into the 2nd Mississippi Volunteer Infantry as Company I and dispatched east to join other new regiments at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. In the next eighteen months, the men of the 2nd Mississippi saw action at First Bull Run, Seven Pines, Gaines Mill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, and Antietam, among other encounters. In November 1862, their brigade was given a short restful assignment in North Carolina before moving into southeastern Virginia to participate in the “siege of Suff olk” in the early winter of 1863. Th is deployment caused them to miss the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, but they were summoned north to rejoin the Army of Northern Virginia for Lee’s invasion of Pennsylvania in June 1863. Both Gambrell boys distinguished themselves in the early stages of the war. Ira was elected lieutenant and Jim was promoted to sergeant. Jim, in his words, “drift ed” into scouting. Sometime in 1862, Gen. A. P. Hill rode past the troops and called for a volunteer to scout ahead of the Army of Northern Virginia and seek out the whereabouts of the enemy. “Th at was an appeal that turned the course of a First Shot, Not Shot, Last Shot Sgt.
