About the author

W. R. (William R.) Bond

b. 1839

Best known for a spirited Gettysburg study, this late-19th-century writer argued that Johnston Pettigrew and North Carolina troops had been overshadowed in popular memory. His work remains of interest to Civil War readers because it blends historical debate with a strong sense of regional loyalty.
