GDG- Pre-Gettysburg Rebel positions

[Tom Ryan]

<<One way to back into an analysis of how accurate the information was might
be to start with the next places the various confederate units are known to
have marched to, from the reported locations, and try to work back to where
they'd have started from.>>

Your point is well taken.  There is a good map in Bradley Gottfried's "Roads
to Gettysburg" that shows the Confederate unit positions as they began to
move toward Culpeper on June 3.  Some of the geographic data mentioned in
Sharpe's report is not included, however, nor are all of the original
positions.  Something may turn up that shows those positions in better
geographic detail.  Otherwise it will take some time to pinpoint those
actual starting positions along the Rappahannock.  Generally speaking,
Sharpe's report appears to be accurate.
