On Thursday, July 2, 1863, a volunteer regiment of Texas infantrymen, led by a 37-year-old lawyer, charged the enemy positioned on a small rocky ridge just south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In only minutes, 211 of these young men and their leader became casualties. Twenty-one years afterwards, the colonel of those Texans, Robert M. Powell, wrote about the memories of that day when he and his small band of soldiers attacked the Union line on Little Round Top.--Provided by publisher.
