The Devil's to Pay - The Battle of the Yellow Breeches Creek, July 3, 1863

 From Clash of Arms:

The body hung limply from the roadside apple tree, as General Buford and his staff rode by. "Well, gentlemen," Buford noted grimly," I guess that's one more report that General Lee will have to do without!"

The Gettysburg Campaign remains a source of endless interest to both historian and wargamer, in part for the many ways in which small acts of fate worked to shape the course of larger events. THE DEVIL'S TO PAY explores a little known, but quite plausible, alternate chain of events turning on one such small incident.
