ll show that such a line would cover Baltimore and Washington in all directions from which Lee could advance, and that Westminster, his base, would be immediately behind him, with short railroad communication to Baltimore. It would, moreover, save ing, and restore to the ranks the thousands of stragglers who did not reach Gettysburg in time for the battle. From Westminster — which is in Parr's Ridge, the eastern boundary of the valley of the Monocacy — good roads led in all directions, andult, that he was too far east, that Lee might attempt to turn his left, and that Frederick was preferable as a base to Westminster, may have confirmed Meade in this decision. In pursuance of his instructions, I had that morning (July 1st) reconnory, except Merritt's brigade (then at Emmitsburg), was near Round Top, from which point it was ordered that morning to Westminster, thus uncovering our left flank; Kilpatrick's and Gregg's divisions were well out on the right flank, from which, afte
