GDG- Winter Stomp (The Rans Wrong Wright Tour)

[kgolf77 at hotmail.com]

I believe there is a piece of evidence that will clear this up.

Wright wrote a letter to his wife describing the brigades move.
In this letter that John Archer read parts, if not all of the letter 
pertaining to the move east by Wright, he detailed the ground and farm 
(Codori I believe if I remember correctly) and Finally the rough ground and 
how it seemed as if they were climbing a hill.
John was giving a Bliss Farm tour and concluded it with Wrights attack on 
July 2nd and read this letter to his wife to us as he had us on the ground 
that he described.

It was blatantly obvious to the group of us that were listening to this 
recitation of the letter that we were on that rough ground and it must hav 
seemed like they were climbing a hill.
This was two years ago and I can't remember it clearly.
Maybe Laurie or someone can obtain a copy of this letter because it is 
pretty concrete proof from Wright himself that he was south of the Copse.

Regards,
Karl

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.
