About this title

Review:

"Wittenberg's study makes the case that Union cavalry had a tremendous effect on the course of the titanic battle, and should be required reading for anyone with an interest in Gettysburg."--J. David Petruzzi, award-winning author of The Complete Gettysburg Guide

"Wittenberg is a unique historian in that he is able to tell a narrative of a battle in a way that keeps the reader engaged. He discusses the different tactics used by each side...If you are fortunate to visit the battlefield during the 150th anniversary of the battle, take time to read this book and visit the less frequented East Cavalry Field"--Collected Miscellany

"Well written and easy to use as a guide, this book is both informative and entertaining."--Rea Andrew Redd "Civil War Librarian "
