It also proves, to my chagrin, that he did not, in fact, return to exactly the same spot he left from.It even shows the improvised bridge(log) across the Chickahominy! Is that a troll I see under it?
Dan, I'm sure you're correct, your post above reveals a very technical military perspective, but is "from Richmond to Richmond, necessarily incorrect, for us laymen, those of us without the knowledge of this technical "military speak?"
May I ask what difference it makes, what the context of your objection is, and what your point in raising this technical detail is, as far as concerns whatever your initial objection to Stuart's performance may have been?but is "from Richmond to Richmond, necessarily incorrect
Yes because it does not accurately describe the parameters of the operation being discussed. Where Stuart took a bath (hopefully) after the mission is of no consequence to the details of the actual mission.
Sorta like posts on the internet.The OR's are a tremendous resource but SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN AT FACE VALUE.
So far nobody has answered my question of whether local patrolling could have gotten as much , if not more information than did Stuart. Maybe they did
\Sorry, prroh. Missed that question.
