 | Nine Months to Gettysburg by Edwin C. Bearss, Howard Coffin
On the surface, this is the story of a group of green soldiers from the hills of Vermont who responded to Lincoln's call in 1862 for 300,000 men to serve for nine months, and who found themselves, at the very end of their term, in the midst of the greatest battle of the war. What's more, at Gettysburg they occupied a key position on Cemetery Ridge and shattered the right flank of Pickett's famous charge. By doing so, they perhaps did more than any other body of men to gain the triumph which decided the fate of the Union , according to the New York Times. On another level, this is the story of ordinary men who confronted fire with extraordinary bravery, hardship with remarkable wit, and fear with surprising honesty. It is through countless letters and journals that we come to know many of these men and follow each through the war to his fate - sometimes tragic - at the final crushing battle. AUTHOR: Edwin C. Bearss, Howard Coffin

 | Junction by Gene Stallings, Jim Dent
This sports history recalls ten days in 1954 when Coach Paul Bear Bryant took his Texas A&M football team to the town of Junction, Texas, where he put them through a most grueling football boot camp --out of which 35 players emerged as a coherent team. Many players--including Gene Stallings, whose stories helped inspire this book--speak of the experience as the most formative in their careers. Bryant went on to lead the Texas Aggies to the Southwest Conference championship in 1956, and was later to become a successful coach at the University of Alabama. AUTHOR: Gene Stallings, Jim Dent
