The highest regimental casualty rate at Gettysburg, an estimated 85 percent, was incurred by the 26th North Carolina Infantry. Who were these North Carolinians? Why were they at Gettysburg? How did they come to suffer such a grievous distinction? In \u003ci\u003eCovered with Glory\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning historian Rod Gragg reveals the extraordinary story of the 26th North Carolina in fascinating detail. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraised for its \"exhaustive scholarship\" and its \"highly readable style,\" \u003ci\u003eCovered with Glory\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the 26th's remarkable odyssey from muster near Raleigh to surrender at Appomattox. The central focus of the book, however, is the regiment's critical, tragic role at Gettysburg, where its standoff with the heralded 24th Michigan Infantry on the first day of fighting became one of the battle's most unforgettable stories. Two days later, the 26th's bloodied remnant assaulted the Federal line at Cemetery Ridge and gained additional fame for advancing \"farthest to the front\" in the Pickett-Pettigrew Charge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.24 x 6.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52617742647603,"sku":"9780807871409","price":55.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b0ZvSmxKYmp3K0dJTFJDTkx6QzZCdz09.webp?v=1761893774","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/covered-with-glory-the-26th-north-carolina-infantry-at-gettysburg-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
