Hot off the press from Savas Beatie. This companion volume to The Tale Untwisted investigates the Confederate side of the Lost Orders story. Dr. Rossino presents new evidence that shakes up the history that we've read. Subjects investigated include:
- The strategic context in which Lee developed the orders
- What Lee hoped to achieve in Maryland
- How George B. McClellan ruined Lee's plans from the minute he began advancing his army toward Frederick, Maryland, on Sept. 8
- Who really wrote the lost copy of Special Orders No. 191
- Where Corporal Barton Mitchell probably found the orders outside of Frederick
- What the evidence is for who lost the orders
- The impact that the orders' loss had on the Confederate campaign in Maryland
