The Star of Gettysburg

CHAPTER XIII
3/65

Then he turned in a calm and businesslike manner to the task of arranging a stern front for the storm which he knew would burst upon them to-morrow.

Lee's generals went to their respective commands.

Harry once more took orders, and, as he carried messages or brought them back, he never failed to see all that he could.

The whole Southern army would be present in the morning, and while Jackson was dead, his spirit might ride again at their head.

Now he awaited the dawn with confidence, believing that Lee would win another great victory.
Harry was sent on his last errand far after midnight, and it took him to one of Ewell's divisions, in the edge of Gettysburg.
