July 2nd

[TexasRebel1980]

I was born on July 2nd 1980 at 430pm. Was curious to what was going on around that time frame? Was LRT still going on, or had that settled down by then.

If I'm not mistaken the battle started about that time or a little later. Thanks to Longstreet dragging his feet and counter marching.

Indeed, Longstreet's attack was beginning and also, by this time, Hood was already wounded!

I believe the fight for the Den/Lrt was still raging at that time.


I also have a relevant birthdate... December 11, 1962. Exactly a century, to the day, after the start of the battle of Fredericksburg.

I think it was around 4:00 p.m. when Longstreet's assault began.
