About this seminar...
There is an old adage that “no battle plan survives first contact.” It sounds good and rolls nicely off the tongue, but that does not make it true, especially with relation to Lee’s plan at Gettysburg. Now there are set-backs to general plans, with unforeseen obstacles, adjustments to time tables, and perhaps the commitment of more man power and munitions than anticipated, but this is altogether different from the abandonment of a plan designed for an army which contains primary and secondary goals. When Lee stated that his “general plan was unchanged” on July 3, 1863, he meant that his primary objective of seizing the key terrain at Cemetery Hill was still front & center to his plan, as it had been the day before. In this sense, nothing had changed. Join Gettysburg National Military Park Ranger Troy Harman for a discussion on Lee and his plans.
Harman, one of the Friends’ most popular tour guides, has presented this program in 13 states, as far north as Joshua Chamberlain Civil War Round Table in Brunswick, ME, and as far south as Houston, TX. His book, Lee’s Real Plan at Gettysburg is in its third printing.
