Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stuart's Cavalry in the Gettysburg Campaign
I was near this part of the field about 5 p.m., when heavy firing of musketry began on our right and I hastened to the spot. The Eleventh Corps on their left had made no stand at all behind its breastworks, but ran away while yet the enemy's bullets scarcely reached them, and while their own artillery heroically served, still held the enemy in check. I tried in vain to assist some of the officers in rallying their men, but soon saw it was a waste of pre cions time. This ?ank move in our very presence, which General Lee had decided open, and the execution of which he had entrusted to General Jackson, was one of great risk under any circumstances.
