The 137th New York Regiment courageously and heroically defended a
key point of the Union defense during the Battle of Gettysburg on
Culp's Hill. Matt McCabe, a young Union soldier, befriends a cat
that instantly becomes a lucky pet for his immediate group as well
as the whole regiment. The thoughts and feelings of young men in
combat are explored and the battle is accurately described. The
137th received more casualties than any other regiment in the Union
army. Matt McCabe survives the battle only to march away leaving
his new found friend, Gettysburg the Cat, behind. Or does he? You
will learn some of the daily activities of young men in war and how
they behave in battle. War is a tragic, horrible experience, yet
there is a bond of friendship that exists among the troops, and
there are moments of both tragedy and humor, such as you would find
in a Shakespeare play. This is an entertaining novel complete with
pathos, historical accuracy, a few moments of humor, and a cat.
