[/QUOTE]quote=larry_cockerham]I saw a most interesting presentation on our local public tv station this weekend from John Siegenthaller's War on Words, in which the author of a new book Lost Triumph or something close to that, claims that Custer's charge at Gettysburg southeast of Culp's Hill was the reason for JEB Stuart not being able to complete his appointed mission, namely to close the pincher move opposite the ill-fated Pickett's charge. This was / is an obvious attempt to give Lee credit for some planning beyond the executed records of the battle. Has anyone read this book?
