Summary "Our Campaign Around Gettysburg" by John Lockwood is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a memorial to the experiences of the Twenty-Third Regiment (N.Y.S.N.G.) and other regiments during their campaign in Pennsylvania and Maryland amidst the Second Rebel Invasion in the summer of 1863. The book gives a detailed look into the daily lives, struggles, and contributions of the soldiers, intended for both the participants and their families. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for the urgency and excitement felt by both the military and the citizenry as the threat of the Confederate invasion loomed. It recounts how the soldiers quickly mobilized in response to President Lincoln's call for reinforcements, capturing the emotional farewells as they set off for the frontlines. The narrative relays the soldiers' initial experiences in camp life, highlighting their camaraderie, the challenges they faced, and the local reactions in areas like Harrisburg. Through lively anecdotes and vivid descriptions, Lockwood paints a picture of the uncertainty and determination that characterized the beginning of their journey toward Gettysburg.
