5. You would say I was a

anything about Gettysburg. I
was an actor before the war,
touring with the infamous

say I disappeared after the
war but this is not true. I
spent my last remaining days
in Louisville, living off the
actors fund. Who am I?

6. I was the son of a farmer
with a famous Civil War past.
I graduated from West Point
with Grant, Halleck, McDowell,
Sherman and others made famous
by the war but I went my way -
to the Confederate side.  They
said I often delayed orders
when I could not agree but I
cared about my men and their
slaughter. I did not consider
myself a visionary but it was
easy to fortell disaster
simply because of the way
things were developing. Some
say Gettysburg was lost
because of me. I spent the
rest of my life trying to
defend that position. Who am I?
