I would like to again thank you. I believe you mentioned a new thread, my problem is not knowing how to do so and or how other than replying as I did with you to garner a discussion. As I mentioned I am not good with computers I tend to write in a style comparative to speech and not well versed grammar and or prose much like your able to master. I have never been active in this type of thing, and I confess ignorance in the not knowing the do's and don't s. On the artillery aspect yes you are correct within your statement, what I had meant was that if the attack had taken place when it was to have, then the actual bombardment would have struck the federals while Gen. Pickets men were crossing the field and only ceasing as not to offer injury to confederate forces. Not only that, but it would have been more accurate done with info being relayed directly from the advancing forces view of the fires effect but also less fire would have been required again fro the ground mist which would have blocked the federal response from lack of vision. Also it must be remembered that Alexander had some form of cannonading with the federals all that afternoon after the initial firing. H.K. Douglas III
