Gallagher, p. 62. Gallagher cites Freeman's description on the end
of fighting on July 1 at Gettysburg: "The battle was being decided
at that very hour in the mind of Longstreet, who at his camp, a few
miles away, was eating his heart away in sullen resentment that Lee
had rejected his long cherished plan of a strategic offensive and a
tactical defensive." He called Longstreet's performance on July 2
so sluggish "it has often been asked why Lee did not arrest him for
insubordination or order him before a court-martial." Gallagher
notes that Freeman comes to different conclusions in his later
three-volume set, <em>Lee's Lieutenants: a Study in Command</em>,
stating that Longstreet's "attitude was wrong but his instinct was
correct. He should have obeyed orders, but the order should not
have been given."</li>
