Harrison knew his unit inside and out and vividly recounts the many important campaigns and battles in which it saw heavy action -- including Seven Pines, Seven Days, Fredericksburg, the siege of Suffolk, and Gettysburg. Originally published in 1870, before the Lost Cause controversialists dramatically shaped the literature, Harrison's narrative is restrained and dependable. His willingness to criticize generals and politicians makes his portraits of Pickett, Lewis A. Armistead, Richard B. Garnett, James L. Kemper, Montgomery D. Corse, and others less renowned balanced, revealing, and often moving. Even Lee himself comes under close scrutiny.
Now widely available for the first time, Pickett's Men is rewarding reading for Civil War scholars and enthusiasts.
