    The Dispatch General Meade Society of Philadelphia, Inc. Newsletter – Winter 2018-2019 “Forget Not His Deeds” ***************************************************************************************** “Until further study warrants a change in view, the student of the battle [Gettysburg] can accept as a working hypothesis General Henry J. Hunt’s estimate of Meade. As Chief of Artillery of the Army of the Potomac, but outside Meade’s circle of friends, Hunt could observe his superior closely and with detachment. From the perspective of years of study of the battle he came to the conclusion that “all… [Meade’s] acts and intentions…were just what they ought to have been, except perhaps in his order to attack Falling Waters on the morning of the 13th, and especially on the 14th of July, when his Corps Com’drs reported against it, and I was then in favor of the attack, so I can’t blame him. He was right in his orders as to Pip Creek; right in his determination under certain circumstances to fall back to it; right in pushing up to Gettysburg after the battle commenced; right in remaining there; right in making his battle a purely defensive one; right, therefore, in taking the line he did; right in not attempting a counter-attack at any stage of the battle; right as to his pursuit of Lee. Rarely has more skill, vigor, or wisdom been shown under such circumstance….” H.J. Hunt to Webb, January 19, 1888, Alexander S Webb Collection. “The Strange Reputation of General Meade: A Lesson in Historiography” by Edwin B. Coddington. The Historian, Vol. 23, No.
