ABSTRACT
When Confederate General Henry Heth awoke on the morning of July 1 it was not yet five o'clock, and the sun, stealing quietly over the Pennsylvania hills, gave promise of another hot, sultry day. Commander of a division in A. P. Hill's Third Corps, a Virginian well respected throughout the Army of Northern Virginia for his quick mind and social graciousness, Heth had still to become used to his new rank of major general won at Chancellorsville.
