Fury on Horseback Book

You may know the story of the battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War, but you probably don't know all this history. Author has woven together the individual recollections of soldiers from the battle, North and South, along with memories of the townspeople. In my reading of the war, I don't normally think of the ordinary citizens in the towns. But here they are, taking care of the wounded, giving soldiers food, cowering in basements, spying from cupolas. My favorite odd memory is the dying soldier who requested to be brought his just shot-off leg and embraced it as he passed away. Good stuff!
