I will add that none of the accounts from the Fourteenth Connecticut Infantry 
of Smyth's brigade even hint at an assault on their position along Cemetery 
Ridge on the 2nd, let along being overrun.  And I have read a good many 14 CVI 
accounts, including those written for publication and some for private
