Good question. Perhaps he is counting the cavalry corps as the seventh. 

Take care,

Bob

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


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.
