your chance

[klongstreet]

you have 30mins to talk to one person at Gettysburg on or before the 1st july
Who would it be
And why

 

[fldinosaur]

Stuart and ask him why he isn't with Lee as he should be. Why he left them without intel that they obviously needed.
Is that two questions?

 

[diane]

I'd talk to A P Hill and tell him Heth doesn't need to go looking for shoes today!

 

[E_just_E]

Mary Virginia Wade. To tell her not to be at her sister's house the next few days.

 

[John Winn]

I'd talk to Lee on day one and try and convince him to put everything he's got into occupying the high ground or, failing that, to suck up his pride and pick somewhere else for the big shootout with more favorable ground.

 

[Barrycdog]

Major William Austin Leyden and ask if he was sick during Gettysburg or was it because he was fighting in his home state of Pennsylvania.

 

[TinCan]

John B. Hood, and press on him the need to try extra hard to get "Old Pete" to let him go around to the right.

 

[pamc153PA]

I'd talk to my gggg-uncle John H. Rothrock in the 153rd PA out on Barlow's Knoll, but I'd ask him mostly about his family, which was also my family. I might also ask him about what happened back in May at Chancellorsville, where he was when the 153rd PA was at the receiving end of Jackson's Flank march.

 

[kel1985]

Reynolds...I'd tell him to stay a little farther back from the action.

 

[dlofting]

Lee definitely, just because he's the one person from the Civil War I'd give almost anything to talk to.

 

[randy596]

I'd go to Lee and tattle on Iverson.

 

[Northern Light]

Buford and tell him Reynolds will get there on time!

 

[samuel orris]

I'd talk to Lee on day one and try and convince him to put everything he's got into occupying the high ground or, failing that, to suck up his pride and pick somewhere else for the big shootout with more favorable ground.

Like Pipe Creek . . .

 

[Billy Yank]

I'd probably talk with Gen. Dan Sickles and tell him the whole darn Reb Army is coming his way on 7/2 and that no matter what position he takes, his boys better get their shovels out and dig-in and if forward, construct protective salients on their flanks.

Of course, Gen. Sickles could care less what I have to say.

 

[Lost Cause]

General Ewell on day 1 and tell him to take Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill.

 

[redbob]

My ancestors from the 11th Alabama and Longstreet's Staff.

 

[jay gale]

my ancestor by marriage Sgt Thomas Rice serving with Battery B 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery.

Then, like kel1985, go tell General Reynolds to not go so far forward.

 

[FarawayFriend]

John B. Hood, and press on him the need to try extra hard to get "Old Pete" to let him go around to the right.

Longstreet and tell him he should let Hood do what he asks for, urge Pickett to come as fast as he can and have the ammunion waggons move closer to the main body of the army so that E. Porter Alexander will have enough reserves, just in case ...

 

[Warren]

I'd like to tell the Tysons not to leave Gettysburg-we'd have some real-time battle photos then!
