Besides these two fine recommendations, I very much enjoyed Eric's book:

Protecting the Flanks: The Battles for Brinkerhoff's Ridge and East 
Cavalry Field, Battle of Gettysburg, July 2-3, 1863

like the two Tom mentions, this one also has a tour guide. [And, in some 
ways, it connects quite well with the ending of Plenty of Blame to Go 
Around.]
