This is one of the best accounts of the 1888 reunion that I have read, I think you captured the emotion of Longstreet’s visit quite well. I find it interesting that on his way home he would survive a substantial train wreck at the Fat Nancy trestle. Longstreet was one tough old bird.Country Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751646911990677725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31912334.post-86012699858570085892021-06-30T13:57:56.662-04:002021-06-30T13:57:56.662-04:00Thank you for a well written article for a legend!...Thank you for a well written article for a legend! - General Longstreet!

The charge seems senseless to me. What a burden for Longstreet but to refuse would probably have meant the end of his career. I'm glad he received honors throughout his later life.

Funny how personalities never change, Longstreet and Chamberlain classy and true; Sickies, the man who damn near lost the battle disobeying orders looking like a 'Conquering hero', and Slocum who failed to support the Union troops west of Gettysburg on day 1 ( well at least he doesn't look so self important as the politico- general, Sickles.
