This is where the much maligned Custer saved the union by stopping Stuart. Had Custer not achieved that, Picket’s charge would have occurred in coordination with a confederate attack from the rear.

Custer saved the battle, and probably the Union. People were well aware of that back then.

Any proof that Stuart was actually ordered by Lee to attack the rear of the Union position on Cemetery Ridge.
