GDG- Gettysburg Magazine

[Batrinque at aol.com]

And my copy of Issue 38 arrived in today's mail.  The first two  articles to 
which I turned were Eric Wittenberg's "The Truth About the  Withdrawal of 
Brig. Gen. John Buford's Cavalry, July 2, 1863" (I confess that I  was somewhat 
relieved that Eric had not found evidence that it was all Phil  Sheridan's 
fault) and Keith Snipes's "A Rediscovered Bachelder Letter: North  Carolinians in 
'Pickett's Charge", given the primary focus of my own Gettysburg  interess.  I 
was happy to see the maps in Snipes's article agree with my  own perception 
that only the very rightmost tip of Archer/Fry and  Scales/Lowrance came near 
the Outer Angle (an extremely minor quibble with the  relevant maps in Bradley 
Gottfried's new book is that these brigades are shown  as being just a little 
too far south).
