GDG- Re: Gettysburg Digest, Vol 36, Issue 3

[IDunc at aol.com]

I believe Meade was a brevet Major General of Volunteers at Gettysburg,  
while his actual US Regular Army rank was Captain. Ian

Meanwhile, at Gettysburg, Lee and his lieutenant generals are  defeated
by George Gordon Meade, a lowly (in comparison) major  general.  Meade
had commanded a corps for some time before  Gettysburg, but in Lee's
army, it seems unusual to command a corps  at that rank.
