GDG- Gettysburg The second day

[James Cameron]

<< I just got back from 4 days in Gettysburg, where we focused on 2nd day
action, excluding the action on LRT. We started with the action of Hood's 
Texas
Brigade. And one thing that amazed us, to a man, was the lack of 
communication
in the ANV. Hood goes down early around the Slyder Lane & Law  doesn't find
out that he is in command until later that night. Longstreet, Lee  ... 
somebody
dropped the ball. There was some conjecture that maybe Hood refused  to give
up command. Maybe he thought his wound not that serious.

Respectfully,

That's new conjecture to me.  From what I've read of his wound, there was no 
question of his trying to remain on the field.  I think it more likely that 
word simply never got to Law in a timely manner.
