    At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, Confederate soldiers launched certainly one of history’s so much famous infantry assaults: Pickett’s Charge. The usage of the participants’ own words, Richard Rollins deftly reconstructs that momentous event. Separate sections cover making plans and preparation; the preliminary artillery barrage; the costs of Pickett’s, Pettigrew’s, and Trimble’s Divisions; and defensive actions up and down the Federal line. From the generals who devised the assault to the lower-level officers and men who bravely walked via shell and shot, Rollins offers a comprehensive, panoramic view of the charge.
