With Old Pete's birthday having just been celebrated, I thought I'd prod the hornet's nest and ask: what did Lee think of his performance during the battle as a whole? I'm aware of the "All my fault, all my fault" anecdote - by the way, does anyone know where this quote comes from, so we can try to establish what the context was?
Lee was working on his memoirs at the time of his death, but as he never finished them, we'll never have his view of the situation. However, he doesn't seem to have blamed Pete at any point.
