Excerpt from Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, Vol. 4: Part II, Being for the Most Part Contributions by Union and Confederate Officers; Based Upon "the Century War Series" This suggestion that I had better order my pickets to fire upon stragglers passing in front of my left was the only order, if that can be called an order, that I received from General Hood after leaving him at his quarters early in the night, when he had informed me of his determination to wait until daylight to attack the enemy. What reason General Stewart gave for not reaching the turnpike I do not know. As I have already stated, General Hood said to me repeatedly, when I met him between 4 and 6 O'clock in the after noon, Stewart will be here in a few minutes. Stewart's column did not come up until about dark. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, Vol. 3: Part II, Being for the Most Part Contributions by Union and Confederate Officers; Based Upon "the Century War Series" Longstreet's arrangements had been made to attack Round Top, and his orders issued with a view to turning it, when General Lee decided that the assault should be made on Cemetery Ridge by Pickett's and Pettigrew's di visions, with part of Trimble's. Longstreet formed these in two lines - Pickett on the right, supported by Wilcox; Pettigrew on the left, with Lane's and Scales's brigades under Trimble in the second line. Hill was ordered to hold his line with the remainder of his corps, six brigades, give Longstreet assistance if required, and avail himself of any success that might be gained. Finally a powerful artillery force, about one hundred and fifty guns, was ordered to prepare the way for the assault by cannonade. The necessary arrangements caused delay, and before notice of this could be received by Ewell, Johnson, as we have seen, was attacked, so that the contest was over on the left before that at the center was begun. The hoped-for concert of action in the Confederate attacks was lost from the beginning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
