“It became common occurrence in the postwar years for Lost Cause enthusiasts to state outright the complete fabrication, “General Lee died believing that he lost Gettysburg … by Longstreet’s disobedience of orders.”
Cory M. Pfarr, Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment

“if Longstreet had been exceptionally insubordinate at Gettysburg to the point of dereliction—as many postwar Lost Cause writers and historians since have contended—why then did Lee not only retain Longstreet as his senior subordinate until the surrender at Appomattox, but also maintain an extremely warm and cordial relationship with him until his death five years later?3”
Cory M. Pfarr, Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment

“makes it clear that Longstreet had been informed.”
Cory M. Pfarr, Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment
