Wasn't at Chancellorsville because he was ordered to southern Virginia on a foraging mission. The only time it might be argued at Gettysburg was on the morning of 7/3, and even that is questionable because he did not go to Lee for orders...

General Ewell certainly should have received better instructions from Jackson before he marched his Valley Army away towards Staunton to meet up with Gen. Johnston but Ewell did well to wait for further orders. Ewell thought Jackson was "crazy as a March hair" at that time. He didn't know how much Jackson valued secrecy. Ewell came out of the Valley one of Gen. Jackson's greatest supporters so there must of been...

Btw, the single most irritating bit in the movie was the (probably a figment of Trimble's imagination after the war ) his whining to Lee about Ewell . Of course, I think the weight of evidence is that Ewell was correct, the situation, as such intelligence as he could gather and the ground situation...

As some of you may have noticed (most of you I hope) there have been a few games floating about the forums of late - Stratego has done an amazing Roman game (which I sadly missed) and is now kicking off his Knight's Tournament, while allsirgarnet has taken the helm of a Waterloo campaign, North African campaign and an Arthurian campaign to date.

I think there are none because the subject of the photo had to be absolutely still when taking pictures back then.

Gettysburg is without question the most expansive, most well preserved, well documented and widely visited of the battlefields of the American Civil War. I'm sure most everyone here has been to the National Battlefield Park on at least one occasion and perhaps, multiple visits. I think it is unavoidable that during a trip to Gettysburg that one identifies a place as being most atmospehric or ...

A few others come to mind....
Wade Hampton (SC)
Fitzhugh Lee (VA)
Henry D. McDaniel (Major, 11th GA Infantry--GA)
John B. Gordon (GA)
Charles T. O'Ferrall (Captain, 12th VA Cavalry--VA)
Joshua L. Chamberlain (ME)
Jacob D. Cox (OH)
I'm quite certain there were more; these are just the ones that I can think of right off the top of my head without doing a bit of research.

Read Eric Wittenberg's book One Continuous Fight. That should be the final
word on that subject. Great read by the way.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war...
