In the Shadow of the Round Tops

In the Shadow of the Round Tops delves into the complex and often ambiguous memories of soldiers from the Battle of Gettysburg, particularly focusing on James Longstreet's countermarch and Samuel Johnston's reconnaissance. Despite being one of the most documented battles in history, the account relies heavily on veteran testimonies, which are inherently subjective.
