by Shaun Grenan
Though little known today by the public-at-large and historians alike, the armies clashing at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863, were not just wearing blue and gray. This work, by Shaun Grenan, looks at the formation, uniforms, and actions on the field of battle of the famed Zouave regiments at the Battle of Gettysburg and beyond.
Learn about the formation of the original French units in North Africa, the epitome of American Zouaves - Elmer Ellsworth, and detailed accounts of the actions of the Zouave regiments at the Battle of Gettysburg, in places such as the Peach Orchard, Little Round Top, the Bloody Angle, and more.
Brilliantly illustrated by artist Mark Maritato, this book is the end-result of 20 years of research on the part played by regiments in Zouave name, and/or uniforms, at the bloody and epic Battle of Gettysburg.
