To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And yet on this point the statements of Generals J. E. B. Stuart and Fitz-Hugh Lee are diametrically in opposition to those which have just been cited. Stuart, in the draft of his report on the Gettysburg campaign, refers to this subject, and replies to the un- favorable criticism of his fellow-officers in the following manner: "It was thought by many that my command could have rendered more service had it been in advance of the army the first day at Gettysburg, and the commanding general compl...ains of a want of cavalry on that occasion ; but it must be remembered that the cavalry (Jenkins's bri- gade) specially selected for advance-guard to the army by the com- manding general on account of its geographical location at the time was available for this purpose, and had two batteries of horse artillery serving with it. If, therefore, the peculiar functions of cavalry with the array were not satisfactorily performed in the absence of ray com- mand, it should rather be attributed to the fact that Jenkins's brigade was not as efficient as it ought to have been, and as its numbers (three thousand eight hundred) on leaving Virginia warranted us in expecting.
