Protecting the Flank: The Battles for Brinkerhoff's Ridge and East Cavalry Field, Battle of Gettysburg

The role played by the Federal cavalry at the Battle of Gettysburg has been long overlooked. This insightful new study pays tribute to the role played by the men of Brig. Gen. David M. Gregg’s Second Cavalry Division for the magnificent job that they did protecting the Union flank on the second and third days at the Battle of Gettysburg. Had they failed, the outcome of the battle might have been quite different. This book evaluates those actions and places them in their proper historical context.
