7. Stewart's Pickett's Charge. An older work, but a great point of
departure.
Please know that Stewart is wrong about Pickett's regiments using Virginia
state flags in the famous charge. All he had to do was go down to the Museum
of the Confederacy when researching the book to see the flags from that
division that reside there that were captured in the assault.
All of them are either Second or (mostly) Third Bunting ANV battle flags.
I also disagree with his cause of casualties breakdown in the charge, but
that's for another time.
