Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 5101121, member: 296"] On a podcast he said the swinging gate deal was nonsense. Whatever bayonet charge there was it was nothing novel like Shaara indicated. Shaara had a funny way of promoting these guys. Like he seems to indicate that Longstreet invented trenches and fortifications. I’m sure the Romans giggled reading that book in heaven. Also Buford wasn’t the first guy to discover skirmishing and cavalry fighting dismounted. The Killer Angels is a nice gateway drug into Civil War history. And Gettysburg is a great adaptation but accuracy wise it’s just OK and that’s it. [/QUOTE]
