There's a great passage about Daniel Butterfield in "The Killer Angels." I recommend the book thoroughly.

The whole series of father and son Shaara books, are hugely Great Civil War Novels, Killer Angels, Last Full Measure, and Gone for Soldiers, and my personal favorite is "Gods and Generals", featuring Lee and Stonewall Jackson in action, both the fathers of modern mobile warefare.

By the way, "Gettysburg", by Newt Gingerich was a huge surprise, I cannot believe how well and believable the alternative history of Gettysburg was!
