Captivating story of the battle of Gettysburg that has never been told before.By Jack CarrollMcMillan uncovered a brand new narrative for the battle of Gettysburg that is truly fascinating. His research is highly detailed and actually helps to fill in many unanswered questions while sparking new debate. I have read dozens of books on the Civil War; and I would rank this among my favorites.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Exhaustive Research.By Dale H. RobinsonTom McMillan would appear to have left no stone unturned in researching the Civil War odyssey of five Gettysburg residents who went south only to return as rebels. From government records to personal letters; it’s all there. It’s unfortunate that only Wesley Culp has a surviving photograph; but we can hope McMillan’s work will stir up pictures of the others. The absence of images makes it hard to keep straight the bios; so a revised edition with more pictures would be perfect.
