History

Series: Vintage Civil War Library

On July 2nd, 1863, forces from the Confederacy's Army of Northern Virginia and the Union's Army of the Potomac clashed over the steep, rocky hill known as Little Round Top. This battle was one of the most brutal and devastating engagements of the American Civil War, and the North's bloody victory there insured their triumph at Gettysburg, setting the stage for the South's ultimate defeat. Using newly discovered documents and rare firsthand sources, acclaimed historian Glenn LaFantasie sheds new light on the dramatic story of this pivotal battle and tells the story as it truly unfolded, from the perspective of the brave men who fought and died there.

Reviews for Twilight at Little Round Top: July 2, 1863--The Tide Turns at Gettysburg

Vivid. . . . Eloquent. . . . Here is the real story of the epic fight for Little Round Top. --Stephen W. Sears, author of Gettysburg Fascinating. . . . An eloquently written narrative. . . . A fine example of military and social history. -- The Civil War News A gem. . . . LaFantasie's beautifully written narrative goes beyond the movement of troops to provide an understanding of who the men were who fought there...and how the grim afternoon shaped their lives. -- America's Civil War Lively. . . . Readable. . . . There is something weirdly magical about [Little Round Top] and it has lacked a definitive history until now. -- The Journal of Southern History
