Gordon was appointed lieutenant-general by President Davis just after his brilliant capture of Fort Stedman, but his commission did not reach him before the evacuation, and although he commanded a corps for some time, and on the retreat was put by General Lee in command of one wing of the army, he always wrote major-general as his real rank. The same practically was true of General Fitzhugh Lee, who commanded the cavalry

Gordon, in his book, Reminiscences of the Civil War, give their views on Gettysburg in the course of their narratives. But one of the most notable papers that has appeared is a review of Longstreet's book by Colonel F. R. Henderson, of the British army, author of that superb Life of Stonewall Jackson, and one of the ablest military critics of his times. He certainly cannot be charged with partisan prejudice. I have thus given a summary of the literature of Gettysburg that any one wishing may investigate the questions involved. And all parties should be willing to rest on the record as it has been already made up. But if there is to be further discussion, there are certain important facts never before in print which I shall ask the privilege of giving. J. Wm. Jones. Richmond, Va., January 12, 1904,

nuary (Lee's anniversary), General J. A. Early defended his chief against this charge, and a year later General W. N. Pendleton followed on the same line. There was a bitter controversy between Longstreet and Early in the New Orleans papers, and the next stage was two papers from Longstreet in the Philadelphia Times (which were copied into the Southern Historical Society Papers), and the series in the organ of the Southern Historical Society, which originated in a letter from the Count of Paris to the editor propounding a number of questions, which he wished answered by leading Confederates, who were in the battle of Gettysburg. General Longstreet afterwards published his views in The Century, and in his book, From Manassas to Appomattox, there were replies from various Confederates, and elaborate defenses of Longstreet from Mr. P.

R. E. Rodes (search for this): chapter 1.33
Rev. Dr. J. William Jones writes The Times-Dispatch this interesting letter in connection with the death of General Gordon: 1. In publishing my sketch of General Gordon, your printers make me quote from General R. E. Lee, instead of General R. E. Rodes, as saying in his official report: Colonel Gordon handled his regiment in a manner that I have never seen nor heard equalled during the war. Gordon's regiment was in the brigade of the gallant and able General Rodes. 2. The death of General Rodes. 2. The death of General Longstreet and of General Gordon has caused some confused statements about the generals and lieutenant-generals of the Confederacy, and it may be well to give the full list in the order of their rank: The full generals were— 1. Samuel Cooper. 2. Albert Sydney Johnston. 3. Robert Edward Lee. 4. Joseph E. Johnston. 5. P. Gustave T. Beauregard. 6. Braxton Bragg. General Provisional Army, E. Kirby Smith. General with temporary rank, J. B. Hood. Lieutenant-Generals.
