A Rebel in Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg (Annotated)
This 2020 edition contains newly uncovered details about the author and others mentioned in the narrative.

John Lewis fought for Virginia in the Confederate army at Malvern Hill, Antietam, and elsewhere. But it was at Gettysburg that the most searing experience of his wartime career took place.

He charged with Pickett's Division behind General Lewis Armistead across that now-fabled field towards the center of the Union line. With great pride and seemingly no lasting bitterness, John Lewis recalls that fateful day and all his other days in a butternut uniform.

But it's not all blood and glory. Lewis had a wry sense of humor and used it to twit both the Blue and the Gray in this wonderful small memoir of a Johnnie from Virginia.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
