Faces of Union Soldiers at Culp's Hill: Gettysburg's Critical Defense
by Joseph W. Stahl (author & Member of the Washington Blue Rifles)
Matthew Borders (Author)
Product Description
At the Battle of Gettysburg, Culp's Hill saw some of the fiercest fighting during the bloody days of July 2-3, 1863. A vital position, the hill became the lynchpin of the Union army's right flank. Waves of Confederate infantry were thrown against Union defenders on the hill in an attempt to roll-up the Federal line, yet the defense held. Published here for the first time are the images of twenty-eight Union soldiers presented alongside narratives of their harrowing roles in the defense of Culp's Hill. Authors Joseph Stahl and Matthew Borders reveal the faces and stories of the men who served and sacrificed at Gettysburg's critical defense.
