Gettysburg history is just fascinating and no one explores it like we do! Doug Douds is back to ponder the question "who won opn July 1st?" Does it ultimately matter? No. The Rebs still lose in the end. But this question has been bandied about in recent years by historians and it's a fun mental exercise and interesting way to look at the battle from a different perspective.
