Love that final quote Joe. Since it's documented I shall grab it and share with my webmaster. Those Howitzer boys.....what a hoot and a wealth of knowledge. I'm a Longstreet "fan" too. The true warrior that owed no allegiance to any state as he was at home in many. THE FIRST CORPS. And seriously, how can you be "late" in those days? Marching took some time. And there was no disgnated route. You got there when you got there. Ask A.P. Hill at Sharpsburg.
