GDG- Question

[Francesco Bertone]

To anyone who knows about the battle of Gettysburg and surroundings, I have a question.
The following is a passage from James Longstreet’s book “From Manassas to Appomattox”, reffering to the second day of battle at Gettysburg
 
“There was a man on the left of the line who did not care to make the battle win. He knew where it was, had viewed it from its earliest formation, had orders for his part in it, but so withheld part of his command from it as to make co-operative concert of action impracticable. He had a pruriency for the honors of the field of Mars, was eloquent, before the fires of the bivouac and his chief, of the glory of war's gory shield; but when its envied laurels were dipping to the grasp, when the heavy field called for bloody work, he found the placid horizon, far and away beyond the cavalry, more lovely and inviting. He wanted command of the Second Corps, and, succeeding to it, held the honored position until General Lee found, at last, that he must dismiss him from field service.”
 
The question is: is Longstreet talking about General Early or about General Ewell?
I’m more convinced that he’s talking about General Ewell but I’m not sure. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very very much
