The Twelfth Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign," Gettysburg Magazine, July 2023, Issue 69

An article of mine, The Twelfth Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign, appears in the current issue of Gettysburg Magazine, July 2023, Issue 69.  The article covers in detail the 12th Virginia, the Petersburg Regiment of Mahone's brigade, Anderson's division, Hill's Corps, from June 14, 1863, when the regiment departed Fredericksburg, through uly 25, 1863, when the 12th pitched camp at Culpeper Court House, Virginia.

The article draws on two of my writings.

First, the article draws on my book, The Petersburg Regiment in the Civil War: A History of the 12th Virginia from John Brown's Hanging to Appomattox, 1859-1865 (Savas Beatie, 2019).  The book won the 2019 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History.  (The distinguished writing was principally by the  soldiers; writings from at least 30 of them are quoted in the book.)

The article also draws on an article of mine, The Myth that Mahone's Brigade Did Not Move on July 2, 1863, Gettysburg Magazine, July 2021, Issue 65.
