An amazing feat of “sifting” to get to the essence of an historical event. Getting to the “real” events of 2 July 1863 at Gettysburg is a marvelous and incredible narrative of the battle and of the frailty of human memory. An incredible and ground breaking history by any measure. A “must” read for those truly interested in what a chaotic business is an actual battle. COL (Ret) Michael Rampy
