Note D — Chapter IV · GORDON’S “ESTABLISHED FACTS” AND PENDLETON’S FULMINATIONS

See “Advance and Retreat,” General J. B. Hood’s Biography, page 55. It is from this letter that I obtain the information concerning Hood’s proposed flank movement on Round Top. It was General Hood’s letter which informed historians that “General Lee’s orders are to attack up the Emmitsburg road.” See Hood’s letter as to this; also that of Colonel Fairfax at page 63 of this work.
