GETTYSBURG LETTER FROM THE FIELD Good Gettysburg battlefield letter from Harlan P. Martin 123rd N.Y. Vols. 2pp. 8vo. ""Battle Field near Gettysburg"" July 5 1863. Martin writes his mother in part: ""…Another fearful battle has been fought and again I have passed through the fiery ordeal…We have completely defeated the rebels and they are now supposed to be trying to sneak across to rebeldom…We have strong hopes of capturing the whole of their army…The Capt. was shot in the knee by a rebel Sharpshooter. They say his leg will have to be amputated…we have been under fire of both artillery and muskets…It is an awful sight to go over the field now…the ground is completely strewn with dead rebels who have been killed…and are not buried yet…they say they are retreating…"". Very good.
