"Gettysburg's Enduring Controversies: A Panel Discussion"
featuring
Gettysburg National Military Park ranger-historian
John Heiser
and Licensed Battlefield Guides
Renee MacLachlan, Sue Boardman and Rich Kohr
Join us as these Gettysburg experts discuss and debate some of the battle's most popular controversies:
-- Which Union general deserves the most credit for choosing Cemetery Hill as the fall back position?
-- Was Longstreet acting appropriately on July 2?
-- Should A.P. Hill have been ordered to help Ewell "take that hill"?
-- Did Chamberlain actually issue an order to fix bayonets or to perform a left wheel?
Some of these controversies will be explored on the field, and there will be time for you to ask your own questions!
