Reply of the Philadelphia Brigade Association to the Foolish and Absurd Narrative of Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell

"Reply of the Philadelphia Brigade Association to the Foolish and Absurd Narrative of Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell" by The Philadelphia Brigade Association is a compelling response challenging the accuracy of Lieutenant Haskell's portrayal of the Battle of Gettysburg. The account focuses on countering what the Association views as misrepresentations and unjust criticisms of the Philadelphia Brigade's conduct and valor during this crucial Civil War engagement. By comparing Haskell's version of events to official records and firsthand accounts from officers, the narrative illuminates the Philadelphia Brigade's significant role in repelling Pickett's division, emphasizing their courage, sacrifices, and heavy losses, while discrediting Haskell's narrative as egotistical and historically flawed.
