Have had a timeline with a POD around Gettysburg rolling around in my head for a while. Not going to give away the whole show, but this would be my first leap into pre-1900 and I have a question I'd appreciate a bit of help with--I've tried to do some research and I can't find the answer to this particular one.
Did Lee have any actions available to him, on the third day at Gettysburg, that were logical alternatives WITH THE FORCES HE HAD AT HAND (no Jeb's cavalry returns early, no magical squadron of A-10's, etc.) Was Pickett's charge the only logical thing he had left to do?
