hwpIn June 1863 after more than two years
of bloody conflict...
the Confederate army of Northern
Virginia, Robert E. Lee commanding...
slips across the Potomac
to begin the invasion of the North.
It is an army of men.
They move slowly behind the Blue Ridge...
using the mountains
to screen their movements.
Their objective is to draw
the Union army out into the open...
where it can be destroyed.
Late in June, the Union army
of the Potomac, men...
turns north from Virginia to begin
the great pursuit up the narrow roads...
across Maryland and into Pennsylvania.
General Lee knows that a letter has been
prepared by the Southern government.
A letter which offers peace.
It is to be placed on the desk
of Abraham Lincoln, President of the U. S...
the day after Lee has destroyed
the Army of the Potomac...
somewhere north of Washington.
Federal cavalry. Two brigades.
- Howdy, friend. Where you headed?
- General Longstreet. I must see him.
Is that a fact?
I know General Lees headquarters
are up here a little ways.
Wherever he is, Longstreet is nearby.
- Take me that way. This is urgent.
- Let me put it to you like this, stranger.
Youre not in a uniform
and youre coming through my picket line.
Ill take you up there,
but if nobody there knows you...
I guess, unfortunately,
youll have to be hanged.
Sir. General, sir.
Im sorry, excuse me, sir,
but Harrison is back.
- Harrison?
- Yes, sir.
The scout, Harrison, sir.
I knew youd want to know that
as soon as possible.
Hes right outside here, sir.
Your servant, General.
Didnt expect to see me, did you?
I paid you in gold three weeks ago.
What do you got?
I dont suppose you got
another one of those.
That good southern tobacco.
What do you got?
I got the position of the Yankee army.
Theyre only a few miles down the road.
The whole Yankee army coming this way.
Seven corps.
A few miles?
Yes. Two brigades of Yankee cavalry
down that road about...
two, four hours away.
Behind that theres seven corps.
I put it all on a map, if youd like to see it.
About men.
All seven corps.
You didnt know any of that, General?
You didnt know they were on the move.
You wouldnt be spread so thin
if youd known.
How do you know were spread out?
Listen, General. Im good at this business.
Sir, I beg your pardon,
but if this mans story is true...
why havent we heard about it?
General Stuarts cavalry is out there.
He would have reported.
- What do you know about Jeb Stuart?
- Hes out there all right.
Hes riding up north somewhere
getting his name in the papers.
He hasnt caused anything but a little fuss.
If the federal army was moving that fast,
as close as you say...
- I have to believe General Stuart...
- Now, look here.
I came within an angry mules kick
of the whole Yankee cavalry.
And all the way through a picket line.
Hazardous, too.
I dont know what Jeb Stuarts doing.
I dont care. I do my job.
Yankee cavalrys down the road,
thick as fleas...
not two hours hard ride
from this here now spot.
And that, by God, is the Lords truth!
- Major Sorrel.
- Yes, sir.
Will you go to General Lees headquarters
and notify him about this?
Yes, sir.
- Captain Goree.
- Yes, sir.
Get this man a tent.
And a cigar.
Sir.
He says the lead element is here
with the Third Corps...
the Sixth right behind...
supported by a column of federal cavalry.
Seven corps all together.
The First and Eleventh
are above Taneytown.
And theres more cavalry two hours east.
There may be as many
as altogether.
Do you believe the man, this Mr. Harrison?
No choice. You remember him, sir,
the actor from Mississippi?
An actor?
We move on the word of an actor?
Cant afford not to.
There would be some word
from General Stuart.
General Stuart would not leave us blind.
One other thing. Hookers been replaced.
George Meades the new commander.
Harrison read it in the Yankee papers.
George Meade, Pennsylvania man.
Meade would be cautious, I think.
Take him some time to get organized.
Perhaps we should move more swiftly.
There may be an opportunity here.
Yes, sir.
No reason to delay.
I think we should concentrate here.
All the roads converge
just east of this gap.
- This junction will be very necessary.
- Yes, sir.
I left my spectacles over there.
What is the name of this town?
Gettysburg.
Very well.
Message for Colonel Chamberlain.
Colonel, darling. Rise up, me bucko.
Im sorry, darling,
but we got a bit of a problem here.
Would you like to hear about it?
Would you wake up, sir?
We got a whole company coming, sir.
This way. Ill give you time to wake up,
but weve got quite a problem.
Altogether, men are coming.
Were to be having them as guests.
What?
Should be here any minute.
- Who?
- Mutineers.
Mutineers, Colonel, me lad.
men from the old Second Maine
which has been disbanded.
mutineers?
Yes, sir.
You see, what happened was
the enlistment papers...
on the old Second Maine run out.
They were sent home,
all except these fellows...
who foolishly signed three-year papers.
Three years, that is.
So these poor fellows
got one more year to serve.
Only they
