To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Occa- sionally only, a distant cannon shot boomed from the northeast, where Clregg with the cavalry was harassing the enemy's left and rear. The silence else was oppressive. The batteries frowned like grim bull-dogs from the opposing ridges, but not a shot was fired. The great feature of the day — and a grander one has seldom been witnessed in the history of human warfare — was in preparation, — the charge of an army; for the body of infantry which Longstreet had been marshaling during the fore...noon for the great assault on our left centre, was an army in itself. That charge has commonly been known as the charge of PickeWs Division, — a most inade- quate title. The troops composing it were not one but three divi- sions (lacking one or two brigades) of the rebel army. They were Pickett's Division of Longstreet's Corps ; Heth's Division of Hill's Corps, commanded by Pettigrew, Heth having been wounded the day before ; and two-thirds of Pender's Division of the same Corps, commanded by Trimble, Pender being also wounded.
