Description
Excerpt from Three Days at Gettysburg; A Complete Hand-Book of the Movements of Both Armies During Lee's Invasion of Pennsylvania, and His Return to Virginia: The Three Days Battle at Gettysburg, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863, and a Guide to the Position of Each Federal Organization Marked With a Monument or Tablet on the Gettysburg Battlefield, With Casualties of Both Union and Confederate Forces The following extract, taken from the Baltimore Sun's report of the address of Colonel Charles Marshall, which he delivered January I8, I896, in Washington, D. C., before the Confederate Veterans' Association of that city, as a reply to General Longstreet's criticism of General Lee's campaign into Pennsylvania, not only sets in the right light the preliminary features to the battle of Gettysburg, but also confirms what General Longstreet himself told the Rev. Dr. Joel B. Swartz, formerly a minister of Gettysburg, in whose home he was a guest during the reunion between Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps, and the Philadelphia brigade of Hancock's Second corps of the Federal army. On the arrival of Gen eral Longstreet at Gettysburg for that occasion he wanted a quiet place to room. The town being crowded, such accommodations were scarce. On this account the above named clergyman offered him entertainment and it was accepted. Dr. Swartz had previously written several articles in regard to the mistakes that had been made by the different generals in this battle, and being anxious to gather all the information possible, on the subject, approached the General whenever opportunity afforded. To the question, whether it was not a mistake that General Lee had made, in allowing General Stuart's cavalry to get so far away from the main body of his army, he replied in the affirmative, and added that General Lee was for some days without any information as to what had become of Stuart, or where the Federal army was or what it was doing.
