No, George, I think Alan's point is valid and a very good challenge to boot. I'm not forgetting the amount of documentation I have found on this subject in the O.R., but he is right that the majority of the references are one-sided in relation to combat reports; only Union references. What needs to be done is determine why the lack of Confederate documentation; and research for any possible information that maybe overlooked. This would support the facts more strongly. A collection of Union reports weighted and compared against Confederate documentation would be a good way to organize this history.
