Fascinating Tunic Dress ) i i i i' ' A I) ' tuTiari mm I " i 1 TT WAS Napoleon who ottered that aphorism about an army "trav. ellng on its stomach." Gen. Robert B. Lee, the great Confederate com mander, knew that too. But look ing at. the footsore men in gray with whom be was Invading Penn sylvania in the summer of 1803, he knew that they needed something else besides food. They must have shoes! t . Lee had selected Casbtown, Pa., as his concentration point But Gen. Jnbal Early,, leading a cavalry raid Into the Keystone state, sent word back to MaJ. Gen. Harry Beth that the little town "of Get tysburg abounded with footwear. Beth directed Pettlgrew, one of his brigadiers, to look Into the shoe situation at Gettysburg. On the morning pt June 30 Pettl grew was Just about to enter the sleepy little Pennsylvania Dutch town -when far to the south he saw a long dark column. Through bis glasses he Identified It as a large detachment of northern horsemen and, though reluctant to abandon the chance to get the much-needed shoes, he decided to retire. When Gen. John Buford, com mander of a division of Union cav alry, rode Into Gettysburg a little later, the citizens told him of - the men In gray who- had approached the town and then retreated. He knew they would be back, probably in much larger force, but he decid ed to stand his ground. They did come back the next morning this time General Heth's entire division, to get those all-Important shoes. So the battle of Get tysburg, the greatest battle ever fought on this continent, began. And the thing which determined that it would be fought near this little Pennsylvania town and make It forever famous was the need f Robert E. Lee's men for shoes.
