But as this book notes, the epic stature of Pickett's Charge has grown at the expense of reality, and the facts of the attack have been obscured or distorted by the legend that surrounds them. The book aims to sweep away the accumulated myths about Pickett's Charge.Civil War America.Gettysburg, Battle of, Gettysburg, Pa., 1863Gettysburg, Battle of, Gettysburg, Pa., 1863.973.7/349Hess Earl J1509534MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788219003321Pickett's charge3741496UNINA
