Of course, it is not a novel, so you are not going to find "The killer angels", but is well written and clear. In my opinion the most remarkable aspect is that is full of portraits of the men that fought this battle in both sides. All the major events, Bufford's retarding action, Little Round Top fight and, of course, Pickett's charge, are described in detail and whit its own maps. In addittion some other minor engagements are covered too, as the action at Culp's Hill in the second day and the cavalry battle in the third day.

The plates from Adam Hook describing the events of the battle are very well detailed, although to my view, ... Read More:

.Jim Bridger: Mountain Man
City Travel Guides > Books > American Civil War
by: Stanley Vestal

January 01, 2002
Although Vestal establishes his credibility as a researcher, it is not enough to research well; one must also be a writer, and Vestal's embarrassing attempts to mimic Bridger's speech is a travesty. From inane, trite cliches to ungrammatical and unmusical diction, it is clear that Vestal needed a much stronger editor. Recommended only for those who can ignore the non-standard grammar and abyssmal writing or who are interested only in the research.
