Let me seek to pose the issue in simple terms. In the bigger picture, there
are two points so strong that they would seem to be incontrovertible.

First. the Confederate accounts from participants and observers are
consistent that Wright's Brigade crossed the stone wall, breached the Union
line, and captured the Federal guns on the crest of the ridge.

Second, the Federal accounts from those units to the south of the Copse
(Hall, Harrow, and Webb's Brigades) are consistent that the enemy attack
they faced was stopped clearly short of their line.

If anyone can contradict these two basic points I would be most interested
in your evidence. Thank you.
