GDG- war councils

[J. David Petruzzi]

>>Rick,

	Very interesting.  This provides more grist for the "Meade deferred to his
commanders" mill.  It also changes the context of Meade's position on the
questions posed at the July 2 meeting from desiring to stay and fight it out
to prefering to retreat.  That is a whole different subject for discussion,
and should elicit additional commentary, I suspect.

Regards, Tom>>


It should, Tom :-)  In a review of Styple's book that I did for Civil War
Times last year, I pointed out that Hancock passage, stating that it should
open up a whole new can of worms regarding the stay/retreat issue.

I have yet to see that can open, though.
