"Ewell missed an opportunity that first day."

Again Harry Pfanz's "Gettysburg, The First Day" dispells the mythology that Ewell had any "oppertunity" at all. That the terrain, the City of Gettysburg itself, and the state of the men after battleling Howards 11th Corp, did not permit Ewell to capture Culp's Hill on that first day. According to Pfanz much of that mythology of "Give me one regiment and I will take that Hill" came from one man who did not even have a command at Gettysburg, but was a supernumerial returning from convelence leave and attached to Ewell's corp.
