<<In researching the last sentence below, I found in David Martin's book
GETTYSBURG JULY 1 (revised edition) on page 341 the following:

"The deciding factor in persuading Lee to make the engagement a general one
was probably the fact that he could see Doubleday shifting Biddle's troops
from  Hill's front to face Daniel along the Chambersburg Pike."

Okay, I'm confused. No where can I find Biddle's brigade being deployed 
that
far north  Is it possible that Martin is actually referring to the
redeployment that Jim Cameron described below?  >>

Pfanz believed it to have been Stone's troops moving to meet Daniel's, not 
Biddle's.  I'd have to look at the time frames, which it's been a while 
since I've done, put it could possibly have been Paul's brigade moving, as 
well, that was seen.
