00:
46:26,784 -- 00:46:29,286We must be charitable
to these people, major.
547
00:
46:29,454 -- 00:46:31,621-We have enough enemies.
-Yes, sir.
548
00:
46:31,789 -- 00:46:34,207The men have their strict orders.
549
00:
46:34,375 -- 00:46:36,877But I must admit those orders would be
easier to follow...
550
00:
46:37,044 -- 00:46:39,421...had the Yankees showed charity
when they were in Virginia.
551
00:
46:39,589 -- 00:46:43,383Major, this army
will conduct itself properly...
552
00:
46:43,551 -- 00:46:47,304...and with respect to all
civilian population at all times.
553
00:
46:47,472 -- 00:46:49,848And you will personally report to me
any infraction...
554
00:
46:50,016 -- 00:46:52,601...no matter how minor or trivial
they may appear.
555
00:
46:52,768 -- 00:46:55,061-Yes, sir.
-Very well.
556
00:
46:55,980 -- 00:46:58,857[BAND PLAYING]
557
00:
47:08,409 -- 00:47:09,951LONGSTREET:
Good morning, sir.
558
00:
47:10,119 -- 00:47:12,579LEE:
General Longstreet, good morning.
559
00:
47:16,417 -- 00:47:18,126Federal forces are concentrating.
560
00:
47:18,294 -- 00:47:21,463LEE:
Yes, and I've confirmedsome of your man Harrison's information.
561
00:
47:21,631 -- 00:47:24,925Their new commander
is definitely George Meade.
562
00:
47:27,470 -- 00:47:30,096I have reports of Union cavalry
in Gettysburg.
563
00:
47:30,264 -- 00:47:31,932-Cavalry?
-Mm-hm.
564
00:
47:32,099 -- 00:47:34,434General Hill reports only militia.
565
00:
47:34,602 -- 00:47:36,853-He did?
-Mm.
566
00:
47:37,438 -- 00:47:38,772Well, it's cavalry.
567
00:
47:38,940 -- 00:47:41,608Where there's cavalry,
infantry will be close behind.
568
00:
47:41,776 -- 00:47:42,901Meade's closing fast.
569
00:
47:43,069 -- 00:47:45,612It could be he's thinking
570
00:
47:45,780 -- 00:47:49,783Behind, in front, direction does not matter.
We'll fight him wherever he is.
571
00:
47:49,951 -- 00:47:53,703Probably got old Abe Lincoln on his back
frantic to throw us out of Pennsylvania.
572
00:
47:53,871 -- 00:47:55,956We may have an opportunity here.
573
00:
47:56,123 -- 00:47:57,958I agree.
574
00:
47:58,125 -- 00:48:01,670Our objective was to get their army
out of Virginia and into the open.
575
00:
48:01,837 -- 00:48:03,755Now they are in the open.
576
00:
48:03,923 -- 00:48:06,299General Meade has been forcing
the march.
577
00:
48:06,467 -- 00:48:08,218The weather has been unusually hot.
578
00:
48:08,386 -- 00:48:12,347He will probably arrive here worn out
and weary, piece by piece.
579
00:
48:12,515 -- 00:48:15,517If we concentrate,
we can hit him as he comes up.
580
00:
48:15,685 -- 00:48:18,395If we can take out a few of his corps,
we can even the odds.
581
00:
48:18,563 -- 00:48:21,481But we must strike hard
and we must strike quickly.
582
00:
48:22,942 -- 00:48:24,693What artillery is that, major?
583
00:
48:24,860 -- 00:48:26,486I don't know, sir.
584
00:
48:26,654 -- 00:48:28,113General Heth is in front.
585
00:
48:28,281 -- 00:48:31,575-My instructions were clear?
-Yes, sir. To all commanders.
586
00:
48:31,742 -- 00:48:34,828Avoid contact with the enemy
until the army's up and concentrated.
587
00:
48:34,996 -- 00:48:35,996And General Heth?
588
00:
48:36,163 -- 00:48:38,331He has instructions
589
00:
48:38,499 -- 00:48:40,125I told him this morning.
590
00:
48:40,293 -- 00:48:42,961We should move closer to the front.
Send for General Heth.
591
00:
48:43,129 -- 00:48:45,422-I must know what is going on.
-Yes, sir.
592
00:
48:46,924 -- 00:48:48,508General...
593
00:
48:49,594 -- 00:48:53,305...in the fight that is coming,
I want you to stay back from the main line.
594
00:
48:53,472 -- 00:48:56,349This army has lost too many
of its veteran commanders...
595
00:
48:56,517 -- 00:49:00,687...and you, sir, have a very bad habit
of moving too far forward.
596
00:
49:03,482 -- 00:49:05,066Can't lead from behind.
597
00:
49:05,234 -- 00:49:07,152May I say it plainly, sir.
598
00:
49:07,320 -- 00:49:09,571599
00:
49:10,573 -- 00:49:14,743General, let's look to this day.
You may bring up your corps.
600
00:
49:16,996 -- 00:49:18,538Sir.
601
00:
49:21,042 -- 00:49:24,711Major Taylor, have Traveler saddled up.
602
00:
49:24,879 -- 00:49:28,423-I'm gonna look around for myself.
-Yes, sir.
603
00:
50:06,045 -- 00:50:32,779[SOLDIERS YELLING]
604
00:
50:42,873 -- 00:50:45,917They've got a brigade in position
and that's all.
605
00:
50:46,085 -- 00:50:50,213We've got the best damn ground around,
and they're hitting me with one brigade.
606
00:
50:51,215 -- 00:50:53,341Lovely. Lovely.
607
00:
51:02,435 -- 00:51:04,519[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
608
00:
51:04,687 -- 00:51:06,604Go on down, gentlemen.
609
00:
51:23,330 -- 00:51:24,998OFFICER:
Fall back!
610
00:
51:29,670 -- 00:51:31,629They're on the run.
611
00:
51:42,016 -- 00:51:43,183GAMBLE:
Close crop, General.
612
00:
51:43,350 -- 00:51:45,477BUFORD:
How are your losses?GAMBLE:
Not bad, sir.613
00:
51:45,811 -- 00:51:48,354We got them out in the open.
Really got a twist on them.
614
00:
51:48,522 -- 00:51:51,733They are arrogant people, you know?
They came right at us.
615
00:
51:51,901 -- 00:51:55,612We took some prisoners.
They're from Heth's division of Hill s corps.
616
00:
51:55,780 -- 00:51:57,614That's what I've got in front of me.
617
00:
51:57,782 -- 00:52:01,034A new division. 8,000 men more or less.
618
00:
52:01,202 -- 00:52:04,621Just back up that road between here
and Cashtown. A little ways up the road.
619
00:
52:04,789 -- 00:52:07,040It'll take them a little
while to get on line.
620
00:
52:07,208 -- 00:52:10,585GAMBLE:
Yes, sir, but Hill s whole corpsis behind. Maybe 25,000.
621
00:
52:10,753 -- 00:52:12,962Longstreet behind that.
Ewell over there to the north.
622
00:
52:13,130 -- 00:52:14,714BUFORD:
I know, Colonel.
623
00:
52:14,882 -- 00:52:18,635When John Reynolds gets here,
he won't have the full army with him.
624
00:
52:18,803 -- 00:52:19,844Only part of it.
625
00:
52:20,012 -- 00:52:22,806The point is, the rebs will be here
this afternoon...
626
00:
52:22,973 -- 00:52:25,975...with everything they've got.
I just thought I'd mention it.
627
00:
52:26,852 -- 00:52:29,562What do you want me to do here, sir?
628
00:
52:29,730 -- 00:52:31,439Heth will be back in a bit.
629
00:
52:31,607 -- 00:52:34,526If he's got any brains at all,
and he's not stupid...
630
00:
52:34,693 -- 00:52:37,779...he'll know by now he's got at least
631
00:
52:37,947 -- 00:52:40,156He won't wait
to get his whole division in line.
632
00:
52:40,324 -- 00:52:41,908That would take half the morning.
