GDG- Gettysburg The second day

[Jim Lamason]

HI Jim, 

Lee is use to giving orders in general terms correct? But both Hill and
Ewell new to corps. command, I think he needed to be a little more hands on.


I know this runs counter to some of those who think he was. I for one am a
little bit skeptical....

<< Pfanz also covers Lee's reorganization of the ANV. The Anv, with an 
entirely new command Heirarchy, and the Aop with a new General commanding, 
but, for all intents and purpose, the same structure. It would seem, and I 
think that thats what Pfanz is saying in the last paragragh, that the only 
"veteren" army on the field was the AoP , while the ANV with all it's 
experience, was an untested organization.

An excellent point.
Should this have called for any changes to Lee's accustomed style of 
command?  If so, was he likely to have made any changes?
