have not  seen the book thus will not suggest how that division is depicted. 
I'm  kind of interested, however, to know why one would read that Caldwell  
appeared to have came in from the Emmitsburg Road if in fact the text says  
otherwise? ? I'm curious as to why the march was not depicted in  increments 
so as to 
be sure.   Caldwell's march was pretty  significant to leave out if that is 
the case. Ted Savas has continuously  stated accuracy and maps, and plenty of 
them, are a necessity. I cannot  see his published map work being inaccurate.

Or am I misunderstanding  something?



Due to the scale and nature of the map in question, the advance of  
Caldwell's division from Cemetery Ridge is not shown.  The division is not  depicted 
until it is already along the Wheatfield Road, and for that first map  it 
certainly appears to be shown too far west.  On the next map in the  series (when 
actually entering combat in the Wheatfield), everything appears to  be as it 
should be, however.
