GDG- Battle Between the Farm Lanes

[Henry Rato]

    Wow Phil,
    Thanks for that substantive and eloquent reply.  I'm looking forward to any opinion you offer, or a work someday? on any topic that comes up in the GDG!  Keep up the great review!

Henry,

J.D. addressed the footnote question.

No, I am not a teacher - I consider myself a student of the Gettysburg 
campaign. I produce the maps for Gettysburg Magazine, and in that 
capacity, I have occasionally emailed Dave Shultz for a clarification 
and he has always responded with a wealth of information that is both 
generous and helpful to the Gettysburg student.
What I failed to mention previously is that Dave and Dave detail the 
critical role Federal Artillery, especially Thomas and Turnbull, 
played, along with the 1st Minn, Willard's Brigade, and the 19th Maine 
in stopping the Confederate juggernaut as it came close to severing the 
Union line on Cemetery Ridge. And above all is Hancock riding from hot 
spot to hot spot dousing the flames with decisive actions.

If this book is any indication, their next opus on the Federal 
Artillery at Gettysburg, will be ground-breaking and will fill in 
details that have gone missing for too long.
