GDG- Wright's Brigade, a (brief )recap

[Harry Smeltzer]

Howard bought into it, for sure, based on the preponderance of evidence and
the confidence and actions of his superior (Hooker).

I've often wondered if Howard's decision to leave his command and accompany
Barlow to the front influenced his decision to "hang back" at a central CP
at Gettysburg.

Thanks Harry - I thought both of them thought that, but I'll defer.

Best,
