Into the Vortex of Fire: A Story of Honor, Valor, Courage, Sacrifice, and Remembrance

Soldiers from New Jersey Fight and Sacrifice in The Battle of Gettysburg During the American Civil War

This novel details the lives of the 11th New Jersey Infantry Regiment (Union Army, American Civil War) and their part in The Battle of Gettysburg.

It is… the stories of the men who were there, those who came back and those who never would, that from the backbone of this work. Author Jim Lamason, long a friend, and collaborator Gerry Mayers (co-author of our book of human interest stories of the Irish in the Civil War) tell the story of one man from New Jersey and his comrades who sweated, toiled, and bled at Gettysburg. This book is a fitting tribute to the sons of New Jersey whose lives were forever changed in the fields that we now know as the Gettysburg National Military Park. - Scott Mingus, Sr.
