Excerpt from Three Days at Gettysburg; A Complete Hand-Book of the Movements of Both Armies During Lee's Invasion of Pennsylvania, and His Return to Virginia: The Three Days Battle at Gettysburg, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863, and a Guide to the Position of Each Federal Organization Marked With a Monument or Tablet on the Gettysburg Battlefield, With Casualties of Both Union and Confederate Forces Colonel Marshall said that all persons who have read what has been written by prominent army officers cannot fail to have observed how much the writers are influenced in their Opinions and also their accounts of events by after-acquired information of the facts. If some of these writers would put themselves in the position in which they were when the event occurred, they would not be as ih fallible, perhaps, as they now make themselves appear, but the truth of hist'ory would suffer less. Thus General Lee's conduct of the Gettysburg campaign had been misjudged by assuming that he knew what we now know.
