Drawing from first-hand accounts, newspapers, original maps, photographs, monuments, battle stats, and commander biographies; the goal of the series is to provide Gettysburg buffs with everything you need to know about each regiment in the Army of the Potomac engaged and involved in the campaign. The best way to study the Gettysburg Campaign is to walk the actual battlefield and read the accounts of the participants!
Volume II: The First Army Corps, offers an in-depth look at Major General John Reynolds and each regiment of the battle-hardened corps. With legendary brigades and regiments, the First Corps was the first Federal infantry unit to be engaged at Gettysburg. The unfortunate and sudden death of Reynolds caused shock among all involved in the battle, but yet the First Corps put up a memorable fight, from the Iron Brigade battling it out against Pettigrew's Tar Heels, to action at the Railroad Cut and Seminary Ridge, and the Vermont Brigade's great success in the flanking of Pickett's Charge.
