Covered with Glory

Rod Gragg's *Covered with Glory* chronicles the extraordinary odyssey of the 26th North Carolina Infantry, the regiment that suffered the highest casualty rate—an estimated 85 percent—at the Battle of Gettysburg. This acclaimed history follows the 26th NC from its muster near Raleigh through its pivotal engagements, culminating in its surrender at Appomattox. Gragg meticulously details the regiment's tragic role at Gettysburg, including its ferocious standoff with the 24th Michigan Infantry and its renowned advance "farthest to the front" during the Pickett-Pettigrew Charge on Cemetery Ridge. Praised for its exhaustive scholarship and highly readable style, this book offers an in-depth account of a unit that earned a grievous and unforgettable distinction in the Civil War.
