"O, sweet is the vale where the Mo- hawk gently glides

Is this bright, rolling river to me." But the student from the sand- fats of Butternut Island distinguish- ed himself most as a writer of his- tory and ethnology. His books on the American Indian have received the endorsement of eminent educa- tors. Dr. Fynn devoted much time to original research.

LEWIS, THUM
-
Are there any descendants of Jesse Lewis and Elizabeth Thum who are readers of this paper? Jesse Lewis born 1795, baptism recorded . in Schaghticoke church records. They are buried in Snells, Bush cemetery. He was a blacksmith at Manheim or Snells Bush and his old home, I un- derstand is now. in the Loucks fam- ily. They had 15 children, the young- est of whom, Horace Birch Lewis was my grandfather.
The many, and they are legion,'ad- mirers of General Lee have for some years been looking for a scapegoat on whom they could saddle the loss of that crucial struggle. There" was no one episode or no one Confederate general responsible It was a chair of events, poor reconnaissance and lack of corps co-cordination tha brought the disaster to the souther army.
It certainly was not General Long street He advised General Lee before their crossing of the Potomac rive; that if a general engagement ensued that to be successful it must be fought on a good defensive position. Lee apparently accepted this view and he did delay a general offensive until all his .corps were at Gettys- burg Lee did not fully understand the events of July 1st and 2nd, 1863 or the strength of the position above the little village of Gettysburg. '. .
The case of General "Jeb" Steuart was different. He did go on a long horse-killing, seven days raid with- out maintaining daily communica- tion with his commander Lee was in doubt as to just where the Union army was until they, not he,' had se- lected the site for the struggle. That was fatal. Stuart did not perform the primary function of a cavalry corps [ commander, that of being a seeing eye and ear of his commander. He did alarm the north as never before and he did permit in part the Union army to occupy a made-to-order po- sition Lee's indefinite orders to , his cavalry' corps commander was another error And let it be realled that Gen- eral Stuart and his cavalry . corps was not gently handled by General Kilpatrick and the Union cavalry a day or two before the beginning of the" Gettysburg struggle
It is true that General Beverly at Berryville, Virginia on or, about June 25 He did . join General Lee's forces at. Gettysburg on July, 3rd. (Lee's Lieutenants by D. S. Free- "man.) It is fantastic to assume that Robertson's inexperienced and small brigade could have turned the -tide. by an earlier arrival at Gettysburg,
Any information on any of the above children will also be appreciat- el .. Am especially interested in Do- rinda, 6 above, who married Jerry Col. Kosby and his writings to the contrary.
And it should not be forgotten that the Confederate army had been winning many battles but at,a terri- ble cost in regimental, brigade, divi- sion and corps commanders: The Southern army from the very begin- ning had been short of officers of
combat experience. Most of the con- federate unit commanders at Gettys- burg were, new to their troops, had never rommanded such large units before because of transfers, promo- tion, losses and the reorganization of their army. The situation in the Union army was exactly the reverse.' Though these' Union troops had been repeatedly defeated ,they had become a well knit army boiling for revenge and were then led by capable and

Henry was born about 1791 and was the youngest son.

BENNETT, LEVI, EZRA, SAMUEL
The 1800 Federal census of Tioga county, N. Y. shows a Levi Bennett 1-0 -?-?- 0; 2, 0, 0; 1, 0. Is this the Levi who went to Arkansas before 1809 ? He had wife, Elizabeth and children, not in order, Winifred who married a West, Rachel who married a Brown, Rebecca and Matilda who both died young, Booker and Edward. Levi and two other bennets, Ezra and Samuel are listed as being of the Town of Chenango, territory which I believe Is now , Chemung county. Would appreciate any data or clues as to the identity of the Levi Ben -. nett, who died in Randolph courty, Ark, about 1844.

Morgan Horses On Stampede
Paul B Mattice, of tica, who was the author of a serial recently ap- pearing in the Enterprises and News, entitled "Grist Mills on the Old New York Frontier," has been having a lively correspondence with Robert Livingston Nicholson of Kansas City, also a reader of the Enterprise and News. The following is a letter writ- ten by Mr. Mattice to Mr. Nicholson and will be of interest to our read- ers:
Dear Mr. Nicholson:
I wish to thank you for your let- ters and information about the Mor- gan horses I do not know much about this famous breed but I would like to know more My interest is heightened by the fact that my fath- er owned a lively spanking pair of black Morgans about sixty years ago He was so partial to this team ¡ that he would let no one else handle Them for years
However, I cannot agree with some of your conclusions about the Battle of Gettysburg. I have served in two wars, attended several military schools, participated in many army studies of that conflict and have twice visited that famous field for on-the-spot sudy. I believe I am com- petent to venture an opinion. I am not trying to belittle General Lee's reputation as a miliary leader or as
Ture, army to occupy a made-to-order po- sition Lee's indefinite orders to his cavalry' corps commander was another error And let it be realled that Gen- eral Stuart and his cavalry corps was not gently handled by General Kilpatrick and the Union cavalry a day or two before the beginning of the Gettysburg struggle
It is true that General Beverly at Berryville, Virginia on' or about June 25 He did . join General Lee's forces at. Gettysburg on July, 3rd. (Lee's Lieutenants by D. S. Free- «man.) It is fantastic to assume that Robertson's inexperienced and small brigade could have turned the -tide by an earlier arrival at Gettysburg, Col. Kosby and his writings to the. contrary.
And it should not be forgotten that the Confederate army had been winning many battles but at ,a terri- ble cost in regimental, brigade, divi- sion and corps commanders. The Southern army from the very begin- ning had been short of officers of combat experience. Most of the con- federate unit commanders at Gettys- burg were. new to their troops, had. never commanded such large units before because of . transfers, promo- tion, losses and the , reorganization of their army. The situation in the Union army was exactly the reverse, Though these, Union troops Had been repeatedly defeated ,they had become a well knit army boiling for revenge and were then led by capable and exxperienced officers as in no other battle from 1861 to 1865. The coordi- nation of their corps was at its crest. 1
To my mind General O. O. Howard who first ordered the fortification of Cemetery and Culps Hill on the morning of July 1st, was the real hero of Gettysburg. That action,was to dominate the events that followed.i When General Hancock arrived, as the spokesman for General Meade at. noon, he approved of all of General- Howard's dispositions of troops and so reported to General Meade. How- ard has never been given full credit. He was not a West Pointer and Han- cock and Meade were. When 'Meade arrived about midnight he also ap- proved of the site chosen to do battle.
Also let it be recalled that the Confederate army had had a hard struggle on July 1 in driving the Un- ion forces out of the village of Get- tysburg and back to the heights of Cemetery Hill. It had been no clear cut victory, for the Confederates had Tost heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners General Ewell's corps did gtem the tide after being recalled "rom Carlisle but he did not fail to arcunv the heights of Cemetery Hill. Why? When Erwell attacked the next day he was remised. And the game thing happened to Longstreet on the right of Lee's army. He could not clear the Emmetsburgh Pike o" Round Top. These things should have been a warning to General Lee of what was to hannen on the morrow.
General Pickett's charge of all Virginians on the afternoon of July 3 was a last ditch, futile effort, that was bound to fail and General Long- street knew it when with tear filled eves he ordered the movement at Lee's request. Spectacular yes, much more than that of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, but poor strategy .. General Pickett had never led a di- "cion in battle before Neither had

General Ewell and Hill ever com- manded corps in battle before. And worse, the attacks of Lee's three corps were not properly coordinated in that three days struggle
The Union army with a greater number of troops more artillery, bet- ter 'supplied with ammunition and other supplies, a picked defensive po- sition and troops fighting on their own soil had an advantage from which there could be but one result. General Lee, placed all of his eggs in one basket in an attempt to end the war successfully for the South. He was a little too sure of the invinci- w bility of his army. Had he taken a defensive position, as Longstreet ad- vised, and made the Union forces at- tack the result might have been dif- ferent Thank God that didn't hap- pen !
Gettysburg will always be a sub- ject of dismission by military stu- dents and historians. The best blood of the nation was poured out there. American troops consisting of infan- try, artillery and cavalry, with the possible exception of the Meuse-Ar -. gonne offensive in World War I, were never employed elsewhere in such a bitter hand to hand struggle. A. reunited nation was born there. It is the most important battle in the history of American arms. It is now a national shrine and properly so, for both the Blue and the Gray. It would be interesting to know how many Morgan horses were at Get- tysburg.
