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 J1809489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975060603321Pickett's charge4408401UNINA05379nam 2200697Ia 450 991102018260332120200520144314.09786612259425978128225942312822594239780470496862047049686X97804704968550470496851(CKB)1000000000794375(EBL)455869(SSID)ssj0000109080(PQKBManifestationID)11125195(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000109080(PQKBWorkID)10044383(PQKB)10778255(MiAaPQ)EBC455869(OCoLC)441888504(Perlego)2751866(EXLCZ)99100000000079437520090501d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBasic statistics a primer for the biomedical sciences /Olive Jean Dunn, Virginia A.
