the morning Of July 4. He dispatched
courier to Meade saying that the
high ground above Gettysburg was
the proper place to meet the enemy.
Not long after this message was sent
to Meade General Reynolds who dis
patched II, was killed. He was on
horseback near a patch OF woods with
his force confronting a large detach-
ment Of Confederate troops which was
coming toward them. These troops OF

Of 446 In a little more than q quarter

General Doubleday fell back to Sem

The forces employed against him
here were greater than his own. and
after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was in effect and In truth a victory
for the Southern arms. On the night
Of July General Hancock arrived
and 'succeeded in rallying the Union
forces and putting new heart into the
men. General Meade on that night
ordered the entire army to Gettys-
burg
Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day, what was virtu-
ally Confederate victory on the first
of July was not followed up by Gen.
eral Lee early on the next morning.
General Meade therefore succeeded in
strengthening his lines and in pre-
pairing for the greater conflict One
end of the Union line was some dis
lance east Of Cemetery Hill on Rock
Creek, another end was at Round Top
something more than two miles be-
yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The
Confederate line confronting 1t was
somewhat longer.
It Is impossible in a brief sketch of
this battle to give the names of the
brigade and the regimental comman-
ders and the names of the regiments
which were engaged on both sides in
this great battle. Meade. Hapcock,
Howard, Slocum and Sickles with
their men were confronting Lee,
Longstreet, Hill, Ewell and the other
great commanders of the South with
their men. The line of battle with the
spaces in between the different COM
mands was nearly ten miles. 1t was
the Confederate generals intention to
attack at the extreme right and left
and at the center simultaneously. It
was to be General Longstreet's duty
to turn the left flank of the Union
army and to break it." Longstreet's
intended movement was discovered in
time to have it met valiantly. The
battle of the second day really be-
gan with Longstreet's advance. The

was ordered to make its way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
of Gettysburg and then to turn in its
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after a long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg.
When Early aid obeyed Lees order
and had reached point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command Of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded In out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand In way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander Of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon a matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen.
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June

went into the field and esta blished
his headquarters at a point ten or
twelve miles south OF the town Of
Gettysburg.

1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded In
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south

as It turned out the force of Meade.
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south OF the town.
