Abstract:
The Bucktails at the Devil’s Den, the sixth novel in the Bucktail series, returns the battered regiment to the defenses of Washington. Instead of the soft duty they envisioned there, the riflemen are harassed continually by Rebel guerrillas and the Gray Ghost, John Mosby. The action intensifies when the First Rifles are ordered on a double-quick march to catch Lee’s invading Rebel Army at Gettysburg. The Bucktails’ brutal counterattack from Little Round Top and their horrible skirmish at Devil’s Den add another heroic chapter to the illustrious history of the 42nd PA Volunteers.
