This Book is not a history of the Battle of Gettysburg, but only of the fighting on and around Little Round Top, which hill is conceded by all Union and Confederates authorities to have been the key-point of the battlefield on July 2, 1863. No other book devoted exclusively to this part of the battle has been published. The Object of this account by an eye-witness and participant as a member of Vincent's brigade, is to correct errors of the leading historians in stating that General Warren, seeing the impending attack by the Confederates on Little Round Top and its undefended condition, left his place at the signal station and rode rapidly to Barnes' division, then formed near the wheatfield for a charge in support of De Trobriand, and took the responsibility of detaching Vincent's brigade and conducting it to Little Round Top. It proves conclusively that Vincent, learning that Sykes had sent an order to Barnes to send one of his brigades to Little Round Top and that Barnes was not then present with his division, took the responsibility upon himself of taking his brigade there without waiting for the staff officer to find General Barnes. It shows that Vincent selected his own position on the southern slope of Little Round Top and placed his brigade there without the guidance or assistance of Warren or any staff officer. Such writers as Swinton, Doubleday, Walker, Hunt, De Trobriand, Powell, and Stine have made the statement directly or by implication that Warren detached Vincent's brigade and conducted it to Little Round Top. These statements deny to Vincent the responsibility which he took upon himself and relegate him to the position of a brigade commander who went where he wasordered to go and stayed where he was placed. The Author was a private soldier at the time of the battle, mounted and on detached service at the headquarters of Vincent's Brigade as a bearer of Vincent's headquarters flag.
