Fine. Still an impossible task. 3 corps (one of which was already badly mauled and one division which was not up yet) were not going to take seven corps (even if one or two were damaged). After fighting through the Peach Orchard, his troops would have been under enfilade fire from both the Round Tops and from the Cemetery Hill line.

I don't know about that... He had done a pretty fine job up to that point...rolling up the Federal Line and sending them running back to Washington.
