Our campaign around Gettysburg Being a memorial of what was endured, suffered and accomplished by the Twenty-third regiment

Our Campaign Around Gettysburg, by John Lockwood, is a vivid memorial that brings the experience of the Twenty-third Regiment (N.Y.S.N.G.) and its allied units to life amid the chaos of the 1863 Pennsylvania and Maryland campaign. Lockwood's eyewitness account captures the endurance, suffering, and accomplishments of militia troopers during the Second Rebel Invasion, offering a near-contemporary portrait of marches, bivouacs, command, and the anxious readiness of citizen-soldiers who stood prepared though often not thrust into the front line. Blending soldierly detail with reflective passages on leadership — notably the tribute to Colonel William Everdell Jr. — the book situates the regiment’s story within the larger drama of Gettysburg, a decisive moment in the American Civil War. Themes of duty, sacrifice, camaraderie, and the everyday hardships of war emerge through clear, candid narrative that illuminates lesser-told aspects of battlefield logistics and morale. A must-listen for Civil War and military history fans, students, genealogists, and those who appreciate primary-source memoirs, this History audiobook delivers authentic, human-scale insight into one regiment’s role in a pivotal campaign.
