content: Not an easy book to read. With most CW books by the time I have read about 1/4 of the way through I sense a flow of words. I never got there with this book. I was disappointed the first time but actually read the book a second time to give it a chance. Unfortunately it didn't get any better. A more enjoyable treatment of Day 1 at Gettysburg is 'Gettysburg The First Day' by Harry W. Pfanz.Also recommended: Gettysburg The First Day by Harry Pfanz Covered with Glory by Rod Gragg The First Day at Gettysburg by Gary Gallagher
