Description
"Here, fully told for the first time, is the story of the 26th North Carolina Infantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. In July 1863 the regiment's eight-hundred-plus troops - young men from North Carolina's mountains, farmlands, and hamlets - were thrust into the firestorm of Gettysburg, the greatest battle ever fought in North America.
By the time the fighting ended, the 26th North Carolina had suffered what some authorities would calculate to be the highest casualties of any regiment in the Civil War."--BOOK JACKET.
