<< The only new thing that I see in the book is the fact that he
believes that the PPT attack was actually traveling towards Zieglars Grove
instead of the Copse of Trees.  Am I missing something here? >>

No, I don't think you are.

As I've said before, what I think Troy Harmon did was take what was really 
not all that new an idea, that Lee wanted to drive the AOP off Cemetery Hill 
by rendering the position there untenable, and pushing it further in terms 
of specifics than the evidence really supports.  As a result, he gets into a 
lot of trouble with the details of his oblique attack theory.
