Noble Pillars: Medal of Honor & Confederate Medal of Honor Recipients of the Gettysburg Campaign: Volume I: The March into Pennsylvania & The First Day's Battle at Gettysburg

The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military decoration for valor. Unfortunately, most of the recipients' names, lives and acts of valor, especially from the Civil War, are unknown to most Americans. The 71 men awarded the Medal of Honor and the 7 men awarded the reactivated Confederate Medal of Honor in the Gettysburg Campaign have faded into history. The author of this book, Roy E. Frampton, through extensive research and numerous photographs, brings the lives of these American heroes back from the past. May these stories serve that purpose by reminding us of a few ordinary men and their enduring acts of valor standing like Noble Pillars.
