    3. Hi, all! I'm reading this book for my history class called "Killer Angels". It's a book about the battle at Gettysburg in the civil war. At the beginning of the book, it gives a brief description of the key leaders of both the confederate and the union armies for this battle. There is a brief description of Ambrose Powell Hill. "Ambrose Powell Hill, Major General, thirty-seven. Has risen to command the other part of Jackson's old crop. A moody man, often competent, bad-tempered, wealthy, aspires to a place in Richmond society, frets and broods and fights with superiors. He wears a read shirt into battle. He should be a fine soldier, and sometimes is, but he is often ill for no apparent reason. He does not like to follow orders. At Gettysburg he will command a corps, and he will be sick again."
