At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, Confederate soldiers launched one of historys most famous infantry assaults: Picketts Charge. Using the participants own words, Richard Rollins deftly reconstructs that momentous event. Separate sections cover planning and preparation; the preliminary artillery barrage; the charges of Picketts, Pettigrews, and Trimbles Divisions; and defensive actions up and down the Federal line. From the generals who devised the assault to the lower-level officers and men who bravely walked through shell and shot, Rollins offers a comprehensive, panoramic view of the charge, with more than 150 firsthand accounts-including accounts from Lee, Longstreet, Pickett, Meade, and Hancock-many of them long forgotten and previously unpublished.

Richard Rollins wrote The Damned Red Flags of the Rebellion: The Confederate Battle Flag at Gettysburg and Guide to Pennsylvania Troops at Gettysburg, and was a contributor to Black Southerners in Gray.
