Many thanks to those who answered my last question, as a new member it does give a start and helps one feel at home. My question now is about GEN Lee's objective in invading the north. I have read that his main target was Harrisburg, and he had in fact sent Gen Jenkins cavalry leading Gen Ewell's troops to Carlisle in June. J.E.B Stuart was meanwhile setting off on his adventure gallivanting around the union army, eventually arriving at Carlisle. As a fan of Gen Longstreet this would make sense if the aim was to sever the main link between the unions main supply route and to take the well defensive heights that resembled Fredericksburg. Why else would Ewell be so separated and have to march back to Gettysburg?. I may be wrong but would enjoy reading your views.
Many thanks
