I am currently reading a book titled, Stopping Pickett: The Philadelphia Brigade. It deals with the entire history of the Philadelphia Brigade, but it goes against Dr. Dorwart's, only college or university press, theory. So far it's pretty good.

Yesterday I read, "Put the Vermonters Ahead" and while it's a slim volume, it's quite a substantial work on the First Vermont Brigade. It's the only brigade in the Union Army that retained its identity throughout the war. They proved their worth and earned the respect of Sedgwick, Meade and Sheridan.
Admittedly, there were three minor mistakes that I've found, but none of these were related to the Vermonters.
Also read yesterday a Georgia regimental history which also discussed the brigade. You can read a lot if you're sitting around for eight plus hours.
Just started "Carrying the Flag, The Story of Private Charles Whilden, the Confederacy's Most Unlikely Hero." by Gordon C. Rhea.
Next in line is "Twilight at Little Round Top" by Glenn W. Lafantasie

Let you know what you think of each as you finish it. They're way down at the bottom of the stack, but if they're worth reading, I'll take your word for it and move them up.

Copy that, Ole. I'll be away at a training class for a couple of weeks starting this Friday but will post up a review as soon as I'm able.
