GDG- Masters of the Field

[James Cameron]

<< Jack and Jim, I do hope to see you on the field December 28 and we can
compare the evidence and consider what interpretation fits best.

Chuck,

At the risk of being overly blunt, I have yet to see you present a single, 
solitary piece of anything that could even remotely be described as credible 
evidence that Wright's brigade struck north of the Copse, and overran Arnold 
and Cushing in the process.  (And certainly not here on the GDG, where it 
would be "too confusing" to do so.)

Further, and with all due respect, it's one thing to argue that Reynolds was 
reckless, about what the Paine map actually depicts, or that Barlow's move 
to the knoll was a brilliant idea.  That's all just opinion.  But when you 
state as a fact that batteries that were never overrun, were overrun, simply 
because they must have been overrun for your theory to work, that does real 
violence to the historical record.  It falsifies the history of the battle. 
And presenting it in the context of a supposedly "educational" tour does a 
serious disservice to those who may participate hoping to actually learn 
something about Gettysburg.

Fellow esteemed member Mike Nugent, also familiar with the details from 
other forums, has already described your theory as "little more than 
fantasy", and I find no reason to dispute his opinion.  You'll have to 
excuse me if I decline to take part in what I would consider little more 
than a farce.
