The fight at the seminary was not going well. Heth was
in a quandry...wat to do, what to do....

But General Rodes was making good progress towards
Culps Hill, and early was forming to advance against
the town itself.

That pesky cavalry was about to get a big surprise
north of town. But too many batt-tries lost to the
enemy....
