the miracle at Gettysburg page 5

the miracle at Gettysburg page 5 by ric gustafson


General Longstreet was sitting against a tree as some of his officers played poker. He had sent Harrison to check on any enemy movement around Gettysburg but he had not yet returned.
" General Sir".
He looked up to see his chief of staff Major Sorrel. " Yes Major".
" General, General Lee says that we should all be concentrated around Gettysburg by tomorrow evening".
" Good". He scratched his dark beard in thought. " Has anybody seen Stuart?".
" No General but some of Hill's troops noticed Union cavalry in Gettysburg".
" What does General Hill think?".
" He thinks it is just militia and not cavalry".
" Is he going back tomorrow with more men".
" Yes General and also General Pickett will be here later this evening".
" Good old George".
" Any new orders General?".
" No".
