Using 164 8.5' x 11' full page maps of the batlefield to depict the times of arrival, advances and retreats of each Union and Confederate regiment and battery, this book describes the battle's pivotal second day on a, at times, minute-by-minute basis. The clock starts at 12:01 am and ends at midnight. Eyewitness accounts, drawn from the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, the Bachelder Papers, Regimental Histories, veteran's diaries and period newspapers are used to identify the times the various troop movements occurred and in so doing lifts the fog of war from some of the events that have been hidden these past 150 years.
