And Longstreet missed the entire Battle of Chancellorsville. Lee could win without Longstreet but not without Jackson. |

Gen. Barycki,
My congratulations on what I feel were a successful 2.5 years leading the Academy. Our interactions were always direct and to the point and that's the way I like them. The Army of the Tennessee welcomes you back home. |
