The story of Buford at Gettysburg shows how one man, in the right place, at the right time can determine the course of history. If Buford had made different decisions the battle could have had a totally different outcome or possibly not have been fought there.

if COL Chamberlain of the famous 20th ME hadn't held the end of the ridgeline, i'd be writing you from a foreign country.

the ANV would have rolled up the flank of the bluebelly army & that would have been that.

the adherents of BOTH sides had GREAT heroes/martyrs that day. the 20th ME had an average of 0.6 rounds per man (and most of that pistol ammo) at the end of the day;that's how close it was.

So true. It really is a good read today.
