[Non-Sequitur]

Its odd the the South entered Gettysburg from the north and the North entered Gettysburg from the south. There was a historical rumor that the Gettysburg battle started because there was a large supply of shoes in Gettysburg and at the dawn of July 1, an infantry officer in Ewell's command led his men there to commandeer them for his a footsore men.

It's a rumor that Harry Heath, the commander of the first rebel division to enter the town, enshrined in his memoirs. Heath sent Pettigrew into town to conscript whatever supplies happened to be on hand and not specifically for shoes.

He didn't exactly have a lot to be proud of that morning.
