But they had another chance against Hay's LA Tigers the next night on ECH and held their ground proudly. I ordered this book early and waiting anxiously for it's release ...should be fantastic based on the interviews and write-ups I have read. JD and Eric's previous books have been great.

Lt. Col. Douglas Fowler, commander of 17th Connecticut, head removed by confederate cannonball; marker at flagpole where this happened; body never identified, so he is buried 'somewhere' on the Gettysburg battlefield.

It is good to see part of it is devoted to little known or less publicized areas. Finding spots like that are like stumbling upon little treasures. My wife still laughs at me for taking her to Gettysburg one Valentine's Day and making her walk through the snowy woods looking for areas not included in the "public tours."
