Yep....
If you have ever read "The Killer Angels", the book does give him his due....
the battlefield at Gettysburg shows what he did as well, especially the electronic map....

And not to forget Joshua Chamberlain and his regiment's desperate defense of the Union extreme left at Little Round Top.

If you have ever read "The Killer Angels",
Shaara's book that backed the movie "Gettysburg" with Jeff Daniels. I have not read it yet. One of those on the "Things to do before I pass" list...:-)

Shaara's trilogy of the Civil War: Gods and Generals / Killer Angels / Last Full Measure / is required reading for any Civil War buff.
I learned more from those 3 books than all of the HS/College history courses I ever took. Killer Angels was by far the best.
