As you already know, You were correct. When given the order he said the height's and if practical. Which I knew, I didn't know he said without bringing on a general engagement as they were already in one....I assumed he was referring to Culp's hill because of Trimble wanting to take Culp's hill it and then him complaining that Ewell refused. Whomever wrote the Time life book was also was confused as they name Culp's hill in the order. Ewell would have never taken Hunts guns on Cemetery Hill.
I would have thought Time Life's account would be the most accurate reading even over a single historian writing a book. As anyone can be a historian and write a book. Clearly I was mistaken.
Look at the title page and see who wrote the book. Champ Clark is not a well-known historian of the Civil War.
