"In what is his first book Myers, a promising young historian, has written a first rate treatment of the life of this largely forgotten general, which will help the both scholars and buffs better understand who was the actual "Lion of Little Round Top".", For an unknown Union officer, Myers has done well to provide the facts of his life and a cogent argument that Vincent deserves much more credit, not only for a short life lived but for a decision which ultimately affected a battle's outcome and possibly the fate of a nation., In what is his first book Myers, a promising young historian, has written a first rate treatment of the life of this largely forgotten general, which will help the both scholars and buffs better understand who was the actual 'Lion of Little Round Top'., "Myers will do his best to convince us that Erie, as well as the man he calls "the Lion of Little Round Top," have reason to roar... It is now for lay readers to enjoy the story of the indisputably valiant and highly effective Col. Vincent, who was promoted to brigadier general after the battle, and for historians, as the author states, "to tilt at the windmills of truth" and determine who, if anyone, was the real Lion of Little Round Top.", When Strong Vincent surrendered his life at Gettysburg, he ceded to Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain the ground on which to shape a carefully crafted memory of the Union's defense of Little Round Top. With brisk prose and sound analysis, H. G. Myers reappraises the events on July 2, 1863, to position Vincent as the rightful hero who held the Federal left flank. Without Vincent's bold initiative and selfless courage, the Army of the Potomac may well have shattered on that fateful summer day., Erie, Pennsylvania historian Hans G. Myers brings to life an overlooked Gettysburg hero... [weaving] into his book historical personages and events as they relate to Vincent and reveals the Erie warrior's bravery at Fredericksburg... The Lion of Round Top is a good, well-researched biography certainly worth the read., A valued and appreciated contribution to American Civil War history, this military biography clearly and informatively rescues from an undeserved obscurity on of the Union's key commanders at the battle of Gettysburg. An absorbing read from cover to cover., The fighting at Gettysburg Little Round Top on July 2, 1863, stands as an iconic moment in the American Civil War. The Lion of Round Top rightfully places Colonel Strong Vincent among the panoply of Federal soldiers who successfully secured the Army of the Potomac's left flank that fateful day., Myers' book is well-written and offers insight on the now-forgotten man whose initiative and decisions were critical to Union victory at Gettysburg, a consequence of post-war mythologies and self-serving narratives. Readers of battle history, in particular the voluminous literature on Gettysburg, will find interest in both the short life of Strong Vincent and the hereto unheralded role his decisions played in saving the Federal left flank at Little Round Top., Using never-before-published documents and records, this is the first modern biography of the man who really saved little Round Top for the Federal Forces., This is a well-researched and well-written book, and the author makes a strong case for Colonel Vincent's essential role in the union victory at Gettysburg., Well researched and readable, The Lion of Round Top provides insight into the making of a brigade commander that excelled at Gettysburg., This history of Vincent is well done. The book should be in the collections of Civil War buffs, as well as in public and school libraries., "In this latest treatment, Myers aims to correct what he deems "the vanishing" of Strong Vincent at the hands of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain [...] Myers's argument was cogent and well made.", Myers has met the most formidable of challenges. Although well known for his actions during the Battle of Gettysburg, Colonel Strong Vincent has never received the full biographical attention lavished on less interesting and less deserving topics. Myers, in his well-reasoned and well-researched work, provides a thorough account of Vincent's life and career, tragically cut short at Gettysburg... in his first major monograph, has further announced himself as a promising young historian from whom more great work is expected., Modern scholarship and popular culture have pushed Strong Vincent into the shadows and increasingly minimized his central contributions to the defense of Little Round Top and the Federal victory at Gettysburg. H. G. Myers judicious biography of this nearly forgotten soldiers goes a long way toward fleshing out the man and restoring the soldier to his rightful place in the Gettysburg pantheon., H.G. Myers has burst upon the scene of Civil War historical writing much like Strong Vincent and his brigade burst among the Confederates at Little Round top on July 2, 1863. He has written a definitive biography of Chamberlain's superior officer, retrieving for Vincent much of the game he once enjoyed for saving the key hill and, quite possibly, the Union army at Gettysburg. Myers' crisp, well-researched narrative reminds us of the best that biographical history offers while avoiding its many pitfalls. This is an excellent work.

Synopsis
The true savior of Little Round Top at Gettysburg was a 26-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, who paid with his life to defend that hill. This is the story of Strong Vincent., The story of the true savior of Little Round Top at Gettysburg--a 26-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, who paid with his life to defend that hill. Citizen-soldier Strong Vincent was many things: Harvard graduate, lawyer, political speaker, descendent of pilgrims and religious refugees, husband, father, brother. But his greatest contribution to history is as the savior of the Federal left on the second day at Gettysburg, when he and his men held Little Round Top against overwhelming Confederate numbers. Forgotten by history in favor of his subordinate, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Vincent has faded into relative obscurity in the decades since his death.This book restores Vincent to his rightful place among the heroes of the battle of Gettysburg: presenting his life story using new, never-before-published sources and archival material to bring the story of one of the most forgotten officers of the American Civil War back to the attention of readers and historians.
