Killer Angels Characterization

It is interesting to be able to get inside the heads of these great men. Although semi-fictional, I have loved hearing about their emotions at this great battle. Chamberlain, a man I am continually fascinated with, shares his feelings as he is given command of a rag-tag group of mutineers, and then again as he continues an endless march toward Gettysburg he describes the heat and endless tiredness he feels through the long march, and yet, he continues to pray for his boys. I am amazed at the thoughts Lee is facing as his orders are disregarded by Ewell causing them to loose the higher ground and to face an almost impossible battle ahead. I marvel at the weight of the next day's battle as he asks himself after midnight, "What will you do tomorrow?" A position that I definitely wouldn't want nor can I totally understand! Amazing writing and characterization, I can't wait to read on!
