Product Description: The unassuming stone farmhouse, where John and Ann Rose and their seven children lived, stood amid 230 acres of verdant land on the eastern side of the Emmitsburg Road about two miles south of Gettysburg. On July 2, 1863, this patch of ground—sandwiched between Little Round Top to the south and the Peach Orchard to the north—became a vortex for tens of thousands of men as the armies renewed the second day of battle. Scott Fink’s A Little Piece of Hell at Gettysburg: The Attack and Defense of the Rose Farm, July 2–3, 1863, is the first full-length study of the Rose farm fighting and its significance. Confederates under James Longstreet swept across the Rose farm from different directions in a bid to crush Maj. Gen. George Meade’s left flank. The Rose land, which included the Stony Hill and the Rose Woods, saw some of the heaviest fighting of the war as thousands of Georgians and South Carolinians flooded onto the property from the west and southwest into sheets of lead and iron. One of the fields, a 20-acre plot across which some 20,000 men of both armies would march, charge, fight, and die—often in hand-to-hand combat—is better known today as the Wheatfield. Union soldiers from several corps, arriving from different parts of the field, rushed into the swirling chaos to stem the break in the line and hold fast. Heavy musketry fire and death-dealing artillery rounds littered the ground and surrounding woodlots with wounded and dead soldiers, earning it the grim distinction as the bloodiest farm in American history. The Confederates used the house and barn for shelter and, after the fighting, as a field hospital. Between 500 and 1,000 Southerners were buried on the Rose property. Alexander Gardner took some of the most famous photographs of the war there, mostly of dead Georgians from George T. Anderson’s Brigade. One of Rose’s daughters suffered from chronic nightmares and bouts of hysteria (better known today as PTSD). The doctor treating her surmised she was “driven mad” and prescribed the use of a straitjacket. Her father believed the anxiety was the result of hundreds of Confederate graves littering the property. Scott Fink’s A Little Piece of Hell at Gettysburg draws on deep research and moving prose that carries readers through every stage of the fighting. The author, himself a combat veteran, carefully examines the battle from the perspective of both the generals who planned it and the men in the ranks who fought it. His use of scores of archival and firsthand accounts, together with original maps, explanatory footnotes, and a keen understanding of the terrain, sheds significant new light on the experiences of these front-line troops and the iconic post-battle photographs. The fighting on the Rose farm played a critical role in the fortunes of both armies at Gettysburg. This original new study helps put the sacrifices of those who fought there in context.…
