For those of you who are curious about the Iron Brigade I would recommend the book "In the Bloody Railroad Cut at Gettysburg" by Lance Herdegen and William Beaudot. This book provides a graphic narative of a wicked battle on the first day of Gettysburg. The 6th Wisconsin was held in reserve while the rest of the Iron Brigade duked it out with Archer's unit. They were rushed to the Union right and encountered the 2nd Mississippi who were down in an uncompleted railroad cut. A tale of incredible bravery. Check it out
