Sorry for being tardy to the discussion, just now catching up on email.

I wonder if there was some kind of political clout behind A.P. Hill. I
remember that A.P. Hill's feud with Longstreet after the Seven Days Campaign
had to do with newspaper stories praising Hill's leadership and his troops.

Best Regards,
Bill
