I finished this booklet over the weekend and I felt it was a very 
worthwhile read. Contained some interesting information and was 
well-written. The author does a good job at supporting his thesis, with 
part of his argument contained in his article in a recent Gettysburg 
Magazine (#36 I believe, but I don't have easy access to it right 
now)... The maps are not the most useful but other than that I had no 
major problems with it.

Thanks out to Zack Fry for recommending it!

The micro-histories that have been recommended on this list recently 
have been very good - Crist's Bliss Farm book is on the way (or so I am 
told by Amazon), and I'm looking forward to that as well.

Any more suggestions for works covering the infantry at the Peach 
Orchard and/or general actions northwards along the Emmitsburg road on 
day 2?
