I just got into this.
Old Pete’s actions and feelings at the Battle of Gettysburg, I think, have pretty well been recorded by historians.
Since Old Pete is one of the many I admire, I’ve read most.
Longstreet at Gettysburg I feel that Pete was wrongly branded as the “Scapegoat”, mostly by officers of Lee’s army who had sorta dropped the Ball themselves.
I want to remind the membership, that zero accusations were launched against “Pete” until two significant things happened.
Lee’s death in 1870, and Longstreet joining the Republican Party!
Several other historians have offered a pretty decent reward, for anybody proving accusations against Longstreet prior to this.
Nobody has ever collected!
