Sunday February 2 – He Is So Slow: Rectifying the Longstreet Myths at Gettysburg
Karlton Smith and Dan Welch, Gettysburg National Military Park
Lieutenant General James Longstreet has been accused of both personal and professional iniquities concerning his performance at the Battle of Gettysburg. The accusations are firmly entrenched in the mythology of the battle. These personal and professional "failures" at Gettysburg, however, were actually generalship traits which showed themselves on other battlefields. Rectify the wrongs of the Longstreet mythology at Gettysburg through the lens of his leadership on other battlefields from Blackburn's Ford to the Wilderness.
Lectures will be held Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
January 4 through February 23, 2025
Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center
