"Nothing Could Exceed Their Bravery": New Yorkers in Defense of Little Round Top

68 pp. "The 44th, 140th and 146th New York Volunteers fought on Little Round Top to keep the Confederates from gaining possession of this strategically important hill. Major General Gouverneur K. Warren, a member of General Meade's staff, helped to secure the position by personally diverting troops to the key elevation just as the Confederates were about to attack. Colonel Patrick O'Rorke, a recent West Point graduate (who finished first in his class), led his regiment in a desperate countercharge with unloaded muskets, helping to save the Federal line of defense."
