I jumped right in with highlighter in hand. This book does not disappoint. It is a thorough history of one of the most famous charges in American History. It definitely raises the bar on future publications. While many well written resources and accounts use the written word; this book is lavishly illustrated along with topographical maps are superb. Written in a style that will allow any reader to visit the field with book in hand and tour the field in a logical and concise manner. Whether a beginner or an expert; you can take your tour at your pace and utilize the book as a personal guide while studying this portion of the field. Personal vignettes of both regimental and individual experiences bring the battle to life 152 years later. I definitely recommend this book for your library if you don't already have it5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.

Pickett's Charge.By ChuckThis is a must book for anyone who has an interest about Gettysburg. I enjoyed the book and plan to walk each path that the troops took 152 years ago. I ordered 3 books and plan to use one in the "fields" at Gettysburg. I have walked the path of Pickett's charge before (from the VA side) and from the TN side. Maps are great. Thanks for a great book.
