Battle of Gettysburg

FOREWORD
In connection with the Gettysburg campaign, I have undertaken to discuss the much mooted ques- tion of the action of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, with the cav- alry under his command. This I have felt constrained to do because of the view (erroneous, as I beheve) presented by Col. John S. Mosby in his recent book on the subject.
