General Longstreet Asks His Former Adversary, Winfield Scott Hancock, About Gettysburg

In a series of videos on postwar letters and other writings about the failures of the Confederate army at Gettysburg and who received blame, and how the loss impacted the outcome of the entire war, I’ve shared perspectives mainly from Southern generals debating amongst themselves. Here's one featuring opposing leaders: James Longstreet and Winfield Scott Hancock. "Life on the Civil War Research Trail" is hosted by Ronald S.
