GDG- Question about A Strange and Blighted Land by Gregory A Coco

[WolfDuke33 at aol.com]

I was almost tingling with excitement upon the arrival of this  book, finally 
a Book that wasn't dealing with the movements of every regiment on  the 
battlefield. A book that was going to give me the Town of  Gettysburg's point of 
view about  the battle. Immediately I see  stats and lots of neat circa 1863 
stuff. Then WHAM Holy Hot Cakes Bat Man   pg 6, 3rd paragraph and I quote "By the 
Fifth of July the Rebels were sullenly  retreating toward the Potomac River 
and safety; and General Meade's eight corp's  soon took up pursuit, " Riddle me 
this Bat Man, unless I am totally lost wasn't  there 7 corp representing the 
Army of the Potomac? 
   I do realize that people make mistakes and I have read a ton  of spelling 
and grammatical errors, Hell Larry Taggs Book is full of them. I  Have no more 
room to talk about grammatical  or spelling errors then the  next guy however 
I just hope that this is a very large over site especially  since he was so 
thankful to Cindy Small for all her proofreading and hard work. 
   I suppose what I'm curious too is has anyone else read this  book and Is 
this the only snafu I will encounter. The Book truly looks like a  lot of hard 
work and time went into its culmination, just odd to me that 6 pages  into it 
a simple trivial fact like this was mistakenly omitted. If I  for some reason 
am misunderstanding this please Kick me hard. I am not  trying to offend or 
criticize I just want others opinions that have read the  book and hope that it 
clarifies what I found , so I can either continue  reading without hesitation 
or if I need to stop now. Thank you for your  time.
