Quotes by Eric J. Wittenberg (?)

“If there is blame to be cast for the Army of the Potomac’s failure to destroy Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia on the north side of the Potomac River, much of that blame should be cast on Alfred Pleasonton.”
― Eric J. Wittenberg, One Continuous Fight: The Retreat from Gettysburg and the Pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, July 4–14, 1863

― Eric J. Wittenberg, Seceding from Secession: The Civil War, Politics, and the Creation of West Virginia
