Can anyone recommend the best (i.e., factually accurate) about Pickett's ill-fated charge? Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend Carol Reardon's "Pickett's Charge in History and Memory" After discussing the charge, she explains how memory of the charge evolved over time. V/R Mark

Michael, I would say Earl Hess's "Pickett's Charge: The Last Attack at Gettysburg" (UNC Press, 2000) is the best.

I didn't know Hess had written a book on Pickett's Charge! He's one of my favorites. I'll have to go check it out! Mark

Not just about the charge, but I thought Longacre's bio of Pickett was a well done book. Dennis

Captain Crow wrote: Pickett's Charge: A Microhistory of the Final Attack at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863. By George R. Stewart.....an oldy but a goody. Aren't oldies typically good? The books I go to a lot are usually oldies.
