  • Author blames Stuart for defeat

    By

    The mention of Confederate cavalry leader James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart along with the Battle of Gettysburg normally equates to controversy.

Lee's Army of Northern Virginia as central to the Confederate defeat in July 1863 because it denied Lee the intelligence he needed to maneuver successfully against the Union Army of the Potomac.

The level of detail is, at a minimum, involved and, at times, complex. For those with the stamina to persevere, however, there are considerable rewards. Published 12:00 a.m. June 16, 2007 - Comments
