Reseña del editor:

For over 130 years the High Water Mark has stood as a reminder of the dramatic events of July 3, 1863. Though the famous Confederate attack has long been known as Pickett's Charge, the men who participated in the actions of July 2 and 3 on Cemetery Ridge also deserve recognition. This book sets forth the words and deeds of those individuals.The regimental historian of the 19th Massachusetts wrote of the hand-to-hand combat of July 3: ...Hatless, coatless, drowned in sweat, black with powder, and blin with dust, with fiendish yells and strange oaths they blindly piled the work of slaughter. And, in a letter home, one Virginia captain sadly stated: We gained nothing but glory, and lost our bravest men. Herein lies their story.
