<< You are right in that the bulk Wright's energy was well south of the 
Copse of
Trees. None of his men ventured over the wall nor beyond the Copse of Trees
July 2nd. I can assure you that no one clad in Butternut or Gray entered 
either
Cushing or Arnold's batteries on that day. I might add that if its someone's
opinion that Wright's people overran either Arnold or Cushing, or both ....
they are mistaken.

Best always,

Dave,

Thanks for fleshing out the details in Hazard's report.

Dave's knowledge of the artillery at Gettysburg is unparrelled.  When he 
says neither Arnold nor Cushing were overrun by Wright's brigade, you can 
take that to the bank.
