The sight of Picketts charge July 3, 1863. His division was destroyed with 60% casualties.


Everyone should read the 3 Shaara civil war books they are all great. The description of Picketts charge was astounding and humbling , it actually had me excited , nervous , sad and angry. The Killer Angels is the name of the book at Gettysburg.

I've read Killer Angels, and The Red Badge of Courage.
Lately I haven't been reading as much as usual. I can say the Halo trilogy is very good.
Starts from Master Chief's childhood, and goes to just before the Covenant invasion of Earth. You should read them. :)
 
I read part the red badge but I quit. Im a confederate i dont read yankee books.
I do read star wars books. :)
 
it's 'once more unto the breach' and that was written by Shakespeare in the play Henry V, and he uttered those lines at the battle of agincourt. don't know how you managed to think those words were somehow part of american history.

sorry misread your post, was just scanning through. but damn it pisses me off when people get things so innacurate.

Frank, your sig sounds very familiar but i can't pin it down. it sounds like it's from Taxi Driver but then it's too elloquent for that. dunno i'll have to think a bit.
 
Okay, so the Red Badge wasn't a good book. Still, it was a Civil War book. I couldn't leave it out!

Anyway, lol at thenerdguy's post.
:cheers: Apu - The South shall come again!

NP , Im shooting back quickly because Ive posted a few threads on SA that had nothing but Ahole replies.
 
Dude, your sig has to be from Aphex Twins "Come To Daddy".
The reason I know is because I love that video, and used to watch it all the time.

If I'm wrong, well, I guess I'm wrong. But, I'm pretty sure that's what it's from.
