Wert, Jeffry D., "A Brotherhood of Valor: the Common Soldiers of the Stonewall Brigade, C.S.A., and the Iron Brigade, U.S.A.," Simon & Schuster, 1999.
Another good read, written w/ the experiancs of the men in the forefront it does an excellent job of getting across what the men of the best regiments in the ANV & AoP went through. The descriptions of Brawners Farm in particular are quite well done. Certainly a book to get the interest started in these two famous Brigades.
If you're interested in the experiances of the premier fighting units of the East this is a good book.
