Note:"An expanded, revised edition of James L. McLean's Cutler's Brigade at Gettysburg. This unit history explores the composition and personalities of the first Union infantry to relieve General Buford's hard-pressed cavalry on the western outskirts of Gettysburg on the first day of the battle. The brigade's stubborn defense, with the arrival of the famous Iron Brigade, stopped the Confederate advance on the town and set the tone for the three-day battle."-- Provided by publisher.
