Winter Lecture Series: He Is So Slow: Rectifying the Longstreet Myths at Gettysburg

Sunday February 2nd, 1:30p

Gettysburg National Military Park’s Winter Lecture series continues with He Is So Slow: Rectifying the Longstreet Myths at Gettysburg presented by Karlton Smith and Dan Welch, Gettysburg National Military Park Rangers.

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.
