GDG- Best work on Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Assault?

I am wondering what secondary work GDG contributors prefer on the PPT
Assault, either a general study or one specifically describing an
outfit's actions.

For a general study, I always prefer Stewart's book.  It still seems to
be the most judicious and compelling narrative.  For a more specific
study, I believe Kathy Georg Harrison's narrative in "Nothing But Glory"
is superb.  Hartwig's article "It Struck Horror To Us All" is also very
informative, I think, despite the fact that he does not place a gap
south of the 69th PA at Brown's Gate (something nearly every other
author since Bachelder has specifically done).

Any thoughts?

My compliments to all,
Zack Fry
