Talk:Fitz John Porter

Clarify, please
General John A. Logan... would accuse Porter of helping persuade his commander Robert Patterson to let Joseph E. Johnston's force escape out of the Shenandoah Valley and reinforce P. G. T. Beauregard, thus turning the tide at the First Battle of Bull Run.
 * He cannot have meant this literally. Could we have a better explanation of what exactly Porter advised Patterson to do? Valetude (talk) 20:58, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Citation?

 * The article states that At Second Manassas/Bull Run, Porter received intelligence that Longstreet was indeed in fron of him, and thus his delay. Historian James McPherson seems to question that timeline, stating Longstreet was only in front of Porter at noon.  This seems to be a key claim, and should be cited (was it part of the trial?).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.150.235.189 (talk) 02:36, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
