"At the battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee launched a massive assault against the Union Army's left flank. Lee's offensive attempted to seize a farmer's peach orchard for use as an artillery position to support the ongoing attack. However, Union Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickles, a scheming former congressman from New York, misinterpreted his orders and occupied the orchard first. Gettysburg's Peach Orchard is a detailed study of the bloody and controversial fighting that nearly lost the Civil War's greatest battle for the Northern Army."--Provided by publiaher.
