Review: "Outstanding book by the late Gettysburg historian and Licensed Battlefield Guide Woody Christ. He describes the intense action between Union and Confederate troops at the Bliss Farm on July 2, 1863. A great and fascinating read. It is with sadness the Woody Christ died in 2013 and this was the only book he had published. He had so much more to write about and tell about the history of the battle. This book he wrote is a fine tribute to Woody and is highly recommended to anyone interested in the Battle of Gettysburg."
-- Joe Owen, noted author of Hood's Texas troops during the war.
