This is false.  So is a lot more of your statement.  I'll bump the thread tomorrow and answer it.  Friday fun![/quote]

Stuart was out looking for shoes and pillage when he should have been doing Recon looking for the Army of of the Potomac. When he showed up on the second day at Gettysburg he said, "Ah shit! How'd I miss those guys".[/quote]

So not true.  This is the equivalent of reading US Weekly and calling it fact.  Trash talk of the era that was false.  Lee's orders were extremely vague and Stuart did the best one could under the circumstances.  [/quote]

The era of Calvary charges had ended with the advent of rifles. Calvaries were relegated to reconnaissance. Vague instructions or not, where was JEB Stuart until July 2nd. How did he happen to miss the Union Calvary followed by army of 50k soldiers?[/quote]
