GDG- re: Sickles' Advance

[James Cameron]

<< A straight line between the left of the 2nd Corps and Round Top passes 
about
midway between the George Weikert and Abraham Trostle homesteads and through
the Plum Run Valley. That is roughly where Sickles was initially located, in
what he called a "morass." Likewise, the Paine map does not show that the
3rd Corps should be deployed back on LRT, but rather on a line through the
Trostle farm and the Wheatfield (with artillery back on the ridge).  >>

Not even close.  A line from the left of Caldwell's position passes close by 
the George Weikert place, or if anything, slightly to the east of it.
You are correct that the so-called Paine Map doesn't show the 3rd Corps back 
along the ridge.  That's why it's very misleading to base anything on a 
document the true nature of which is so unproven.  Unless or until proven to 
be the early morning sketch map, it simply cannot be assumed to be that map.
