Early in July, a united coun- try once more passes an anni- versary of the Battle of Gettys- burg, fought between the gallant men of the Blue and the Gray- It is appropriate that attention be given to the actions of two great Georgians who fought on that decisive occasion. General John B. Gordon, referred to by Lucian Lamar Knight as the gallant Sir Lancelot T , . of , the „ lederate knights," and Lt. Gen- oral James Longstreet, known familiarly as “Lee’s *Oid War- horse,” played conspicuous roles .n the drama of Gettysburg. Gordon has been credited by some as having been halted by an order from winning this Battle. Longstreet has been charged by mriny with iosing the Battle through failure to carry out orders. Careful ex¬ amination of records and mater¬ ial concerning Gettysburg brings the impression that neither of these viewpoints is necessarily correct. Gordon, commanding a leading brigade of Ewell’s corps, reached the scene on the first day of battle, July 1, 1863. Fate had suddenly forced a change in Lee’s original plan not to offer battie at Gettysburg. It had be¬ come unavoidable. As the treops in front of Gordon on the Union right flank were being driven back in full flight, Gordon was halted by Ewell. The Georgian says in his memoirs that he halted reluctantly after three or four orders to do so. Gordon, who thought that possession of the heights was vital to victory left posterity the conviction that had Stonewall Jackson been there 1 , those heights would have been in Confederate hands by nightfall of that fateful first day, that Lee’s fallen right arm would have seen the necessity for ag¬ gressive tactics and would have acted rapidly and informed Lee later. Perhaps ^ there was iusti- flcatIon for cautiQn taken. One logical statement concerning Lee’s predicament on the occasion is that “The situ- ation was one in which General Lee found himself in the moun¬ tains of Pennsylvania with the eyes of his army put out.” Jeb Stuart had been left on the other side of the mountains. In the absence of the calvary, Lee, was unable to accurately measure the situation. Still an aggressive Jackson might have made a great difference. That eminent authority on Southern military hi:story, Douglas Southall Free¬ man, states in “Lee’s Lieuten¬ ants" that “The price of victory at Chancellors (where -Stonewall Jackson fell) was defeat at Get¬ tysburg.” The fiercest controversy grow¬ ing out of Gettysburg relates to the maneuvers of General Long¬ street, who commanded the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia and was en¬ trusted with the great assaults of the second and third days of fighting. After Longstreet became a Republican, great ef- lorts were made by many of his contemporaries to prove that he lost Gettysburg through in- •ubordination. General in defending Lee, joined in this criticism. A careful review of reliable sources, including the works of Freeman, Robert Selph Henry, Knight and others, brings the impression that many factors lost Gettysberg; that Longstreet certainly was not at his best! there, nor was Lee; that defi- nitely Longstreet disagreed with : l ee’s plans at Gettysburg. There were arguments exchanged Longstreet was undoubtedly slow in writings or Longstreet on the subjeet contain some bitterness toward Lee and are also contradictory in parts. known that despite new mation from scouts. refused to revise Lee’s orders to make the attack on the second day up the Emmitsburg Road, It seems obvious now that a flanking attack around the Fed- oral left to take the Round tops would have been logical move- New Salem News Mr. and Mrs. W.
