“THE FIGHTING IN THE PEACH ORCHARD AT GETTYSBURG

PROLOGUE
"The same young men who crowded each other as they faced the recruiters' tables now crowded each other as they died.”
Charles Phillips, The Sharpshooter 1862-1864
“JAKE BAKER JOINING THE UNION ARMY IN NEW ORLEANS

"I'd prefer to be back in Texas, taking aim at the Rebs..., but I just can't do that," said Jake. ..."So, I'll just do what I can do, I guess."

"I suspect that goes for all of us," said the Colonel. "Maybe we should make that the unit's motto. 'The First Texas Cavalry of the United States of America: We'll just do what we can do, we guess.' It does have a ring to it, but I expect that we need somethin' a bit more inspirational and less true.”
Charles Phillips, The Sharpshooter 1862-1864
