The author offers a compact, chronological account of the three days of fighting around the Pennsylvania town, opening with landscape and opposing forces, then tracing commanders' plans, troop movements, and battlefield actions on each day. Detailed descriptions cover major engagements, the artillery duel and infantry assaults, cavalry operations, and individual incidents and regimental anecdotes that illustrate losses and heroism.
